We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW 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 scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The setup is quite easy."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"One issue we've encountered with Huawei NGFW is that after using a firewall for two or three years, we need to replace it. The new firewalls often have more features and better memory or throughput. However, sometimes, they lack some features that the old ones had."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"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."
"The setup process should be improved."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
