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."I am "headache free" that I don't have to categorize all the websites and that security has been pre categorized by the people, and that the services are getting updated. At least one part of my problem is over."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are it is one of the most mature firewalls in the UTM bundle."
"The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be scalable."
"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 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 virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"Their reliability and their policy of pre-shipping replacements when a unit has failed."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The hardware is stable."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The command feature is valuable."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"It is a stable solution."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"he stability could be improved."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The security feature must be improved."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"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."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
