We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall and Juniper SRX Series Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features are ease of use, flexibility, and most of the configuration we can be done using the GUI. When we compare Fortinet FortiGate with other solutions the firewall policy are very easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The security on offer is very good."
"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"It is a scalable product. I know a customer who has deployed more than 4,000 firewalls in a single deployment."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"The feature that we like the most about Forcepoint is that we know the technology and have confidence in it. We can have several functionalities to simplify operations and management. We can combine functionalities like log ownership to review the number of devices in the infrastructure."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"We're primarily using Juniper's EPA feature, but not the other things. We use it to manage different points of firewalling of routing."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"You can scale the solution."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"J-Web, Juniper Web, is sometimes not working great when users are increasing their internet use. Additionally, they need to improve the GUI, graphical user interface, and the firewall management needs to improve. Their CLI is good, but sometimes the GUI is very slow."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"Sometimes committing configurations takes a lot of time in Juniper because of the connections, and it could be a little bit faster."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console."
"I would like to have a better web UI for administration. Juniper could simplify the web UI and make it more compatible with mobile devices."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
