"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."

"I am not able to see a demo."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"In terms of other features, I'd like to see a web filter, 10 point control, application control and a DNA filter in the next release."
