We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Zyxel Unified Security Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is user friendly, and has all the features you need."
"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The solution can scale well."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"The graphical user interface of Fortinet's FortiGate product does not function well with text-based interfaces."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"It could use more tutorials."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
