We performed a comparison between Azure 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 SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"The solution can scale well."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"The solution should be capable of self-scaling, which is one of the features we like about it."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"Great security and connectivity."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The hardware is stable."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"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."
"It needs more available central management."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"Azure Firewall has limited visibility for IDPS, no TLS inspection, no app ID, no user ID, no content ID, no device ID. There is no antivirus or anti-spyware. Azure Firewall doesn't scan traffic for malware unless it triggers an IDPS signature. There is no sandbox or machine learning functionality, meaning we are not protected from Zero-day threats. There is no DNS security and limited web categories."
"Currently, it only supports IP addresses, so you have to be specific about the IPs that are in your environment."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"It could use more tutorials."
"he stability could be improved."
"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 GUI interface needs improvement."
