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."Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"The performance is good."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"It has improved our security capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"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."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"Application management can be improved."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The reporting can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"The product could improve its integration with some legacy systems."
"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."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"Its technical support services could be better."
