We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Zscaler Internet Access 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."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"CLI: Junos CLI is very easy to use, and it is also very easy to find back items in the configuration and to change them."
"The technical support is quite good."
"Using a Juniper CLI, you configure a "candidate configuration", then "commit" it to bring it live. If you do not like it or messed up something, you just "rollback" to the previous configuration. It can all be done in a matter of minutes. This is super handy once you get use to it."
"Juniper is one of the most powerful network security solutions while remaining simple to use, set up, and scale."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"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 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."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drop packets."
"One on the main benefits is protection all time from anywhere."
"The solution offers a distributed organization to master and to control all of the endpoints."
"Overall, we're very happy with our product."
"We enjoy all of the proxy capabilities and the capability to integrate into the SIEM/SOC solution."
"After a proper implementation, the maintenance is very low."
"I like the granularity of the control of all the traffic, including SSL inspection. I also like the fact that the user interface is intuitive. The latencies with Zscaler are minimal compared to those of any other competitor. Other competitors do not really have the global scale that Zscaler has and cannot promise low latencies."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"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."
"Its price could be better."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
"J-Web, Juniper Web, is sometimes not working great when users are increasing their internet use. Additionally, they need to improve the GUI, graphical user interface, and the firewall management needs to improve. Their CLI is good, but sometimes the GUI is very slow."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"The product only has basic features."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"Technical support could be better."
"It also needs better integration with other applications as well. There are some restrictions."
"The solution is expensive. They recently revised the pricing and packaging. Some of our existing customers have been asking for alternate solutions for a lower price."
"They should enhance the audit reporting feature."
"There are some performance issues when we add on additional controls."
"Zscaler Internet Access could improve by adding a VPN feature."
"I would like to see the ability to choose a pool of IPs for my company, set up rules based on them, and know that those IPs are not used by other companies."
"An improvement would be if they could provide an out-of-the-box experience, like 20 to 30 features all ready to go. In comparison, LogRhythm offers out-of-the-box features. With Zscaler Internet Access, there is firewall IPS, multiple security services, filtering, DLP, and CASB browser isolation. These are things that all users are going to be using. However, when an administrator or architect would start building this, I would definitely need to engage professional services to help clients do it."
