We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Zscaler Cloud 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."The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."
"Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The technical support has been good."
"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"The support system could be improved."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
