We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall 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."FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"They have a very responsive customer service and support team."
"Its central management, especially when it comes to distributed environments, is great. I can generate and save a setting and then apply that setting across the network with just one click."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"The interface is very user-friendly and it is quite easy to use."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"Single sign-on is also good. If you are accessing your corporate firewall from your home, during that time there is integration with AD. You can use your AD password to access your SSL VPN. It's not like if you buy an additional SSL VPN... You can directly integrate with your AD. If you change your password on the AD side, your client-to-VPN password also gets changed. You can integrate all your passwords from a single console. It's not like admin has to change your password, it's a single sign-on."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"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."
"Performance is a strong point."
"We mostly use the Layer 4 firewall functions: Access rules, NAT, and site-to-site IPsec VPN."
"Commit: You can update the whole configuration without affecting the production. The new configuration will be loaded once the command "Commit" is submitted. You can also do a Commit confirmed to automatically roll back to the previous config after X minutes."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
"The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"In terms of other features, I'd like to see a web filter, 10 point control, application control and a DNA filter in the next release."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
