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 security fabric is excellent."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"The most valuable features are simplicity, management, and that it's constantly evolving."
"Their reliability and their policy of pre-shipping replacements when a unit has failed."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"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."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"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 user interface is good."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"It protects from distributed denial-of-service attacks with Screen Options."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"Bandwidth Management and aggregation. It is valuable for combining two ISPs. Switching to a secondary/redundant ISP is thus seamless, in the event that the primary ISP goes down. The Bandwidth Management is also valuable for limiting heavy downloaders that may impact negatively on the experience of other users."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"We consider the user level and control features of Sophos Cyberoam UTM to be the best."
"The most valuable features are the firewall section, the VPN, and how you control live users."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"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 could be more secure."
"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 user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The product only has basic features."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"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 solution could cost less. It's a bit expensive right now."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"I would like to see improvements in the development of reports. The process needs to be made simple."
"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."
"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."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"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."
"Its scalability is not that great."
