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 ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The technical support has been good."
"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."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"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."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"Its price could be better."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"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 training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"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 pricing still needs some improvement."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"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."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
