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 interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"The GUI is good."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The GUI is simple to use."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"The solution's web filtering is an important feature for us in our company."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The product is worth the investment."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"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."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"Third-party support for Juniper is a lot less than Cisco. This is no surprise, but a definite consideration if you are expecting to use a lot of third party support. In my guesstimate, for every 100 Cisco shops, you will find one Juniper shop."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"It is not a scalable product. This is because if you want to increase the capacity of the solution, then you have to change the device."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"It isn't missing anything."
"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."
