We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series 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."The solution is extremely reliable."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The wireless control is helpful."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"The most valuable feature is the virtualization because it can be used for customers who are using the mobile data network to request a private connection to a remote site."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"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."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"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."
"The solution has good features."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"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."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"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."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
