We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW and Juniper SRX Series 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 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."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"FortiGate firewalls are user-friendly, and I like the security profiling features."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"One of the best things about Huawei NGFW is its ability to integrate Azure solutions. Every year, we can add new features to the firewall. The key advantage is the integration across the entire network, so it doesn't work in isolation. For example, we can manage everything with features like the secret manager or analytic IDs. The solution is straightforward. It can also detect intrusions."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"The setup is quite easy."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"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."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how you can commit, check, and back out of a configuration."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"For the migration, everyone has a firewall in use and I am selling Fortinet. Typically, I am replacing another firewall. Previously, there was a tool available to convert configurations from one firewall, such as Palo Alto, to Fortinet, but this tool is no longer free. If it could be made free again, it would be very beneficial."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"I think Juniper SRX should have a GUI. Some of the competitors are already implementing GUI for the firewall."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
