We performed a comparison between Azure 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 most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"When compared to Palo Alto, Juniper is a better choice when it comes to the enterprise network and connectivity."
"Commit: You can update the whole configuration without affecting the production. The new configuration will be loaded once the command "Commit" is submitted. You can also do a Commit confirmed to automatically roll back to the previous config after X minutes."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"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."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"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."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
