Juniper vSRX Other Advice
OB

Network Operations Support at EOS IT Management Solutions Ltd
Our organization is partners with Juniper. We have a business relationship with them.
At work I see it a lot, however, a lot of tasks are automated at work. It's not like you have hands-on from scratch experience. In my position, I'm doing more support or some automation to build the VRX or the virtuals needed for lab equipment. At home and in the labs I am able to learn from scratch, and I'm trying to connect VPNs, etc. I am hoping to get into the cloud in the future.
The version of the solution we use should be the latest. I downloaded it a couple of months ago. It should be the latest, due to the fact that I have a virtual that's a trial. I get it through the partnership through my job. The virtual that I've got is on AWS. Azure is the recommended platform.
I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it ten out of ten.

I recommend looking elsewhere. I'm not particularly enamored with Juniper vSRX. I've had a lot of problems with it. We're looking to replace Juniper with either Aruba or FortiGate based on usability and affordability.
Overall, I would rate this solution at four on a scale from one to ten.

The product has a good market in our country. Juniper’s MX1000 and other series have firewall and routing features. However, in other products, the firewall and routing feature is separated. Most Juniper devices combine routing switches and firewalls on a single platform.
Overall, I rate the solution a six or seven out of ten.
I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, I would recommend Fortinet first because they cover all the endpoint protection, VPN protection and email protection. Second I would recommend Sophos, and third I would recommend Falcon.

View full review »Many customers are using Juniper routers and switches, which has prompted another team to work with Office 365. I am only working on the Juniper firewall part. The technical side is almost the same, and the function is similar with respect to other competitors. Juniper deployment is not very complex, but Cisco deployment is very complex.
I recommend having a price and other comparison with Palo Alto and others.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I rate this solution a seven out of ten, and I would recommend it to other people.

It works for us and has worked for other colleges and universities.
We use just the on-premise version of the product. We are not on AWS yet. I'm looking forward to integrating this solution into AWS soon.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with Juniper.
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.
We'd recommend the solution to other organizations.
On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution an eight.

In Saudi Arabia, Juniper has a problem with marketing. They're less well known. A lot of companies are changing or going with Palo Alto.
With the GUI, the firewall is not easy to use. It doesn't cover all the features. Juniper should enhance the GUI, and make it easier to use. Both the firewall and virtual security are hard to use. It's not easy to configure it and not friendly to users.
I would advise for those thinking about using the product, to make sure they learn as much as possible, and also look to use a redundancy.
I would rate this solution seven out of 10.

I know this sounds like a major problem but it’s not been that big an issue. We run HA and have same day replacement on them so if we lose one it’s not a major outage, just more work to do.

I would rate Juniper an eight out of ten. In the next release, I would like to see an enhanced GUI, graphic user interface, because the graphic user interface is very bad.
They should also discard some existing commands that we have to delete before the commands. Cisco is more practical.
I would recommend Juniper because they have a very good product. Especially, the 5800 product is a very good product for an internet service provider.

Look at this product and Palo Alto's product, then do a deep comparison analysis.
It integrates with our VPC and Direct Connect Gateway.
I am also using it on-premise. Compared to the AWS version, it is pretty transparent.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is that the whole thing is about the design. If you design it well, consider how you should introduce it into your organization, and have a good implementor to ensure that it integrates well into the platforms you already have in place, then you won't have any problems with the implementation phase. Having a good integrator is very important.
Feature-wise, this product isn't missing anything. There is nothing that we have asked for that isn't there. Our only complaint is about the reporting.
I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We are using both the on-premise and AWS versions. They are used for different purposes, so I can't compare them.

I would recommend the solution and suggest you test it. It's a good product if you have a chance to work with it, if it fits right in your environment, it's really good to see what it can do.
I would rate this solution at 8.5 out of 10. I would rate it as a 10 if I had the ability to create a highly available firewall and if there was more stability in the new features.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate this product a 10. When you've got a 10, there is nothing to improve. There's nothing to add. The pricing still needs some improvement.

When we started with vSRX we came over from NetScreen. With vSRX We had a lot of problems and management was very hard to work with. It's not so very user-friendly. Before we had NetScreen 5400 and it was much better.
We're in the process of migrating away from Juniper onto Fortinet.
For us, it was not the correct solution for our data center.
I would rate the solution six out of ten.

I would recommend Juniper vSRX. It works well for us.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper vSRX a rating of eight. We experienced some technical issues during implementation; if they were corrected, I would give this solution a rating of nine or ten.
