We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW 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."Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"The UI is quite good."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The tool helps us to integrate with other brands."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"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."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"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 solution could improve its technical support."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
