Benefits of Juniper SRX
Some of the benefits of using Juniper SRX include:
Reviews from Real Users
Juniper SRX stands out among their competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are their central management capabilities and the robustness of their suite of security features. Juniper SRX is designed to make it easy for users to take control of their network’s security. From one location, administrators can manage all aspects of their infrastructure’s security. The many features that it offers allows users to tailor their security to meet their specific needs.
Shashidhara N., director of technology solutions & services at Connectivity IT Services Private Limited, writes, “On the SRX box, it has what I call a one model concept for security. I work especially with hybrid environments. With an SRX we have a single management dashboard. We can manage the internal framework easily with the centralized management component. You can work with threat prevention, you can work with integration, you can work with traffic management. Another good part about SRX is that you have opportunities for automation. Another thing that is very good is that all the operating systems for all Juniper boxes are the same. You do not work on different operating systems using different boxes.”
Pradip J., the owner of Shree Atharva Sales Corporation, writes, “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."

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| CEO at a tech services company with 1-10 employees | 3.5 | As a subcontractor working with Juniper SRX Series Firewalls for medium to enterprise clients, I appreciate their network layer solutions, though the graphical interface needs improvement. I prefer the hardware SRX and find FortiGate a strong alternative. |
| Network Communication Specialist at Statelife | 3.0 | We utilize Juniper SRX Series Firewalls for IPsec VPN and network traffic encryption using 128-bit encryption. However, due to its limited features and lack of UTM solutions, we're transitioning to Fortinet FortiGate for advanced functionalities and traffic inspection. |
| Technology Consultant at Cloudfence Technologies | 5.0 | I find the Juniper SRX Series Firewall trustworthy for policy creation, infrastructure setup, and VPNs, with top-tier threat prevention. However, the price is high. It offers easy configuration compared to Palo Alto, with excellent AI support and cost savings. |
| Managing Director at VIPUN COGNITIVE SOLUTIONS PVT LTD. | 4.0 | I have utilized the Juniper SRX Series Firewall in airports and various industries, appreciating its user-friendly UI and ease of access. However, the pricing strategy needs improvement. Previously, I have also used Check Point and FortiGate solutions. |
| Manager ITSM at Lucky Cement Limited | 4.0 | I'm using the Juniper SRX Series Firewall as a data center firewall, valuing its stability and strong security. Despite its robust protection, its web content site needs improvement. The solution offers a good return on investment with essential security features. |
| Owner at a transportation company with 11-50 employees | 5.0 | At our company, we use the Juniper SRX Series Firewall in the banking sector. Its security bundle and integration abilities are valued, although it lacks IoT device protection and the GUI can be overly complex, needing CLI programming for many features. |
| Assistant IT Manager - Infrastructure & Operation at Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co Ltd | 4.0 | We primarily use the Juniper SRX Series Firewall for network protection. It's among the top firewall solutions, offering good performance and security. Setup is straightforward, and it's stable and scalable. However, we seek better stability, affordability, and roadmap transparency. |
| Expert Transport Planning Carrier, Enterprise & IP(Team Lead) at Mobilink GSM | 3.0 | We use Juniper SRX for basic layer 4 firewall protection without next-generation features. While its IPS is useful for telecom, I find Cisco's advancements superior, especially in organized deployment and security visibility. Our switch from Cisco involved MPLS network transitions. |
