We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and SonicWall TZ 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 solution is extremely reliable."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The solution has good features."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"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."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The hardware is stable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The network security is great."
"Content filtering and application rules are the most valuable features. It is also easy to configure."
"The product’s filtering and URL-blocking features are valuable."
"We are able to block whatever we want to block by using this product. It provides all required security features, such as content filtering, VPN, in one box. Before switching to SonicWall, we had specified all required features."
"The scalability of SonicWall TZ is good and easy to add users."
"Most of the features are useful. It is easy to configure and easy to troubleshoot. I can see the utilization of different networks, and there are also App control features."
"The VPN is quite useful for us, as well as the ATP."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"The way everything is set up could be easier. Currently, people need a lot of experience and knowledge to administer it and to link it to devices."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"he stability could be improved."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"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 reporting can be improved."
"The stability could be a lot better."
"The solution must provide more ports."
"I would like to see lower antivirus pricing."
"User interface could be improved."
"The market seems to be going to a cloud-supported, new generation of firewall products. I think that's probably going to be important to us, the next time around."
"SonicWall TZ can improve the UI application and when you create any net policies or any new policy, it will not sync or work properly."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say better load balancing and data filtering."
"The price could be better for us in Bolivia."
