We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW and Juniper SRX Series 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."This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The UI is quite good."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"The tool helps us to integrate with other brands."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how you can commit, check, and back out of a configuration."
"The command line in Juniper SRX is extremely powerful, in my opinion. It's one of the best command lines I've used in networking products."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"What I like the most about Juniper is that they have the same CLI on all routers, switches, and firewalls. If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"My only complaint about FortiGate is a lack of QinQ VLAN tunneling. I haven't found this feature in any Fortinet product. You can do this on all Cisco routers, including the smaller models. However, QinQ isn't available on the biggest, most expensive Fortinet units. They still don't have that. I think now we're on software version 6.0, and they still haven't found a solution for QinQ. It isn't a dealbreaker, but that's my main complaint."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"It could be more secure."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"The visibility/reporting could be better. To see something, you have to export the log to a syslog and then process with another product."
