We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Palo Alto Networks K2-Series 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."The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"The secure web gateway module and the application control module are valuable. HA operations are very easy."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The technical support has been good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Palo Alto has a unique solution for DNS security, which is very good."
"Overall, this is a very simple and very effective firewall, and I am satisfied with it."
"The most valuable features are the virtualization of the firewall and the antivirus."
"I have found that Palo Alto Networks K2-Series has the best security. They are more user-friendly, older firewalls used to have to be configured using the command-line interface, but in this solution, it can be done in the GUI."
"Palo Alto has better and finer controls than, say, Cisco or Check Point."
"This firewall is very good for our customers because they don't have to write their own rules for adding an application."
"One of the most valuable features is Palo Alto's firewall management. We find it easier to manage the firewall centrally."
"It is a stable solution."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"he stability could be improved."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"In the past, we've had trouble with Palo Alto's application filtering not getting it right. I would not be recommending layer 7 application filtering yet."
"The ease of management and configuration should be improved."
"Palo Alto has many other products. It would be nice for these products to be centralized under one tool"
"I would like to see the threat intelligence capability integrated with other vendors such as Cisco and Forcepoint."
"The tool needs to improve integration with more products from other vendors. I would like the product to add threat intelligence features as well."
"We had some issues with upgrading in the past. They could make the process easier."
"The reporting functionality in GlobalProtect needs to be improved."
"The technical support, and how they provide it to the client, needs to be improved."
