Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"The solution is scalable."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The UI is quite good."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."

"Performance is a strong point."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"The scalability is fine."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."

"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."

"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."

"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"Third-party support for Juniper is a lot less than Cisco. This is no surprise, but a definite consideration if you are expecting to use a lot of third party support. In my guesstimate, for every 100 Cisco shops, you will find one Juniper shop."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
