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 UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"It's an easy solution to set up."

"The pricing is great and very reasonable."
"Good load balancing feature."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"The technical support is quite good."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"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's web filtering is an important feature for us in our company."
"There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"The scalability could be better."
"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."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"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 GUI needs improvement."
"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/"
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The reports need to be more detailed and granular."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."
"The reporting part could be more user-friendly for troubleshooting and identifying network issues. It should be more easy for a normal user to identify the problem in their network."
"I have problems with the email filtering. Emails pass through without any filtering affecting them. When I get back to them and tell them this is the issue, they check everything and say it is not in their database signature and they have to update it. But you know, by that time, my user has already opened it."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"The policy is a bit too vague."
