Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very fast and easy to configure."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"You can scale the solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being the best I'd give Juniper SRX an overall rating of eight because of its' competitive price."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"The best feature is the flexibility the product offers, in terms of remote access. What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The tool's robust features allow for the customization of policies, objects, and firewall settings."
"User and network policies to be managed on a single screen with powerful filtering and search options."
"The solution is excellent for web and application filtering and remote access with the VPN."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"Lacks training for new features."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"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."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"I would like to see improvements in the development of reports. The process needs to be made simple."
"Network visibility is an area in the solution with shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The reports need to be more detailed and granular."
"The VPN is an area that can be improved."
