We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Juniper vSRX 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 feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"FortiGate is on the cheaper end, and it offers good value."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"It is quite easy to handle."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"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."
"It is easy for me to protect certain ports or even the IP addresses, as well as do whitelisting, blacklisting, and the FQDN when we want virtual machines connected and to protect certain websites."
"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."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"The solution should be capable of self-scaling, which is one of the features we like about it."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"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 product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The command feature is valuable."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"The pricing could always be better."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"It could use more tutorials."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
