We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Sophos Cyberoam UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SD-WAN, filtering testing applications, web filtering, and the new VPN."
"The Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."
"It is a safe product."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"You can scale the solution."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"The firewall features and the routing capability are the most valuable."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"We consider the user level and control features of Sophos Cyberoam UTM to be the best."
"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer. It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"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."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"It isn't missing anything."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
