We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Juniper vSRX 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."Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"The performance is good."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The solution is stable."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"The solution is stable."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The hardware is stable."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"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."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The command feature is valuable."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"Monitoring and reporting could be better."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"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."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"The security feature must be improved."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"It could use more tutorials."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"he stability could be improved."
