"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"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."
"It's easily scalable."
"Juniper is one of the most powerful network security solutions while remaining simple to use, set up, and scale."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"The scalability is fine."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"The product is easy to maintain."

"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The web interface on Juniper SRX is just a short conversion from Junos OS CLI; this is not very suitable for users with little expertise/"
"The product only has basic features."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"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."
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"Network visibility is an area in the solution with shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
