Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is very easy."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the traffic and the logging. They have real-time logins for traffic logs. Troubleshooting was very easy for me."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
