Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"It is very flexible to use."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"The UTM platform has been the most valuable."
"Firewalls help us a lot in controlling traffic on our network and preventing unauthorized access."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"The filtering was very good."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"Juniper is one of the most powerful network security solutions while remaining simple to use, set up, and scale."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"The interface needs improvement."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"JTAC (Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center) is just okay for technical assistance. However, if you are used to Cisco TAC responsiveness, you will need to adjust your expectations with Juniper Networks TAC."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
