We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Waterfall Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"What I like the most is the configuration and that it's simple, and straightforward to maintain."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"I am "headache free" that I don't have to categorize all the websites and that security has been pre categorized by the people, and that the services are getting updated. At least one part of my problem is over."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"The reason that we picked Juniper SRX is for the scalability, the fit for purpose, the tools that are available, the ongoing support and the ability to monitor, but particularly for the virtual routers in our data centers so that we can quickly upscale them when needed, when we need more throughput."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"This is a professional solution which has been the most valuable aspect of its use."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"FortiGate is really good. We have been using it for quite some time. Initially, when we started off, we had around 70 plus devices of FortiGate, but then Check Point and Palo Alto took over the place. From the product perspective, there are no issues, but from the account perspective, we have had issues. Fortinet's presence in our company is very less. I don't see any Fortinet account managers talking to us, and that presence has diluted in the last two and a half or three years. We have close to 1,500 firewalls. Out of these, 60% of firewalls are from Palo Alto, and a few firewalls are from Check Point. FortiGate firewalls are very less now. It is not because of the product; it is because of the relationship. I don't think they had a good relationship with us, and there was some kind of disconnect for a very long time. The relationship between their accounts team and my leadership team seems to be the reason for phasing out FortiGate."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"Some configuration elements cannot be easily altered once created."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
"It's a good stable firewall, but it's nowhere near what it needs to be for a next-generation type firewall."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"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."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"The interface of this solution could be more user friendly. The initial set up could also be made more simple."
