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."FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities. In the newer releases, the resources were more useful because they were included in the operating system."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"Some of the key features of the solution is that it has good reporting, you can receive many details from the connection, for example, clients and website information."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"In terms of features and user-friendliness, the solution is good. It’s very stable. The solution is scalable. In Sophos Cyberoam UTM, the most valuable features are web and application filtering, routing functionalities, and VPN. It has helped us manage the bandwidth."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"It is very easy to use."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"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."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"It isn't missing anything."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
