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."It is user friendly, and has all the features you need."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"The most powerful feature in Juniper SRX is definitely NCLS."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The solution's interface is user-friendly, and the web protection is good. The tool is highly stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is good. We chose Sophos Cyberoam UTM because their focus on security research is higher compared to other brands. It's an all-in-one solution with antivirus, EDR, wireless protection, and web protection integrated into one box. The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."
"It is very easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Backup can be improved."
"It does not have key authentication for admin access."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"Some configuration elements cannot be easily altered once created."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"As a networking person, I don't really have any major issues with this device. Based on my experience of using it in a cluster, it could be more stable. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP. It is a good solution, but firewalls don't seem to be an area of development for Juniper. They are focusing on data centers, routers, and switches, not firewalls."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"The data support response time should be improved."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
