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."The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"Its stability is the most valuable."
"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"The most valuable feature is the virtualization because it can be used for customers who are using the mobile data network to request a private connection to a remote site."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"We are using it as a security shield. It does not allow access before that in case we have restricted a few things from users, so it helps me in that."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."
"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."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The most valuable feature is the IPSec forwarding."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The security of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"There are a lot of bugs I have found in the solution and it is difficult to upgrade. These areas need improvement."
"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 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."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."
"The documentation is not straightforward."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
