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 CLI is robust and powerful, enabling rapid, consistent changes via SSH."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"Good load balancing feature."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"Its stability is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"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."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Technical support is perfect."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"The user interface is good."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The solution can scale well."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer. It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"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."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."

"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
