If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."

"As a networking person, I don't really have any major issues with this device. Based on my experience of using it in a cluster, it could be more stable. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP. It is a good solution, but firewalls don't seem to be an area of development for Juniper. They are focusing on data centers, routers, and switches, not firewalls."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"The setup process should be improved."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."

"I would be happy if Sangfor developed a firewall designed specifically for home use, as well as for small businesses such as clinics and so on. A household version of the Sangfor firewall for your personal computer or laptop would be ideal, in my opinion."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"They need to improve their research team and they need to study their data to analyze it and build the product."
"It does not offer any recommendations on how to mitigate or control attacks."
"Sangfor NGAF could improve the policies and default criteria. They could be much better."
