We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Zscaler Cloud 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."The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"The hardware is stable."
"The technical support has been good."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"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."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"The solution is scalable."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"It is a stable solution."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"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."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"The UI could be improved."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"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."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"Pricing is a challenge."
