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 stable."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"It's easily scalable."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."

"The product is very fast and reliable."
"It's a very simple to use product."

"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"In four steps one can configure the entire firewall."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"The capacity can be limiting. We have outgrown its capacity. You can only scale up to a certain extent, depending on the device purchased."
"I think Juniper SRX should have a GUI. Some of the competitors are already implementing GUI for the firewall."
"The web interface on Juniper SRX is just a short conversion from Junos OS CLI; this is not very suitable for users with little expertise/"
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"I would be happy if Sangfor developed a firewall designed specifically for home use, as well as for small businesses such as clinics and so on. A household version of the Sangfor firewall for your personal computer or laptop would be ideal, in my opinion."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"I believe that IAM and NGFW need to merge into a single box, instead of there being two separate box solutions."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"Occasional issues with breaches which are dealt with expediently."
"The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly."
"The reporting and log management could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in dependency on certain infrastructure, like the DNS dependency on the current DNS server that the company has. It should be standalone. It should not depend on any other DNS server."
