We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Zscaler Cloud Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is extremely reliable."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"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."
"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."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The technical support has been good."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The hardware is stable."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"
"The solution is scalable."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"Application management can be improved."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"The product could improve its integration with some legacy systems."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
