Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"It is user friendly, and has all the features you need."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"The scalability is fine."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"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 hardware is stable."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"The reporting can be improved."
"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."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"he stability could be improved."
"The biggest downside of Juniper vSRX is its pricing, which may be too high for smaller organizations. While it's a decent solution, the cost may limit its accessibility to smaller customers."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
