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."The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"It is very flexible to use."
"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."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"What I like the most about Juniper is that they have the same CLI on all routers, switches, and firewalls. If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"I like Sophos Cyberoam UTM as a security component or device for organizations. Performance-wise, it's a satisfactory solution, and it works okay. It also has good features."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a very strong product with good support."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"I think Juniper SRX should have a GUI. Some of the competitors are already implementing GUI for the firewall."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"It could be more secure."
"I would like to have a better web UI for administration. Juniper could simplify the web UI and make it more compatible with mobile devices."
"There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"The product’s pricing has increased by approximately 45% in four months. This particular area needs improvement."
"Sometimes, during part of the configuration, if you don't have a lot of technical knowledge, then you may struggle a bit to configure it."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
