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 most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"It is easy to use and performs very well."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"The scalability is fine."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"The product is worth the investment."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"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."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall has to improve its web content site, like web filtration."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"It isn't missing anything."
"What needs improvement in Sophos Cyberoam UTM is openness in the competition among Sophos partners or any other Sophos product. Another area for improvement in the solution is pricing. It could be cheaper."
"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."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
"I would say there's room for improvement in terms of the GUI. Because it is better than some of the other standard firewalls. They have the drag and drop features."
"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."
