Juniper vSRX Reviews

We are consultants and integrators using Juniper vSRX for a range of shipping companies, which can be both small and large. We implement it behind one firewall and in front of multiple other firewalls.

We use the application filtering, content filtering, and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features. These features are crucial for our network security. The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance. Additionally, the ease of deployment is critical for us.

It is very useful for those moving to the cloud or using cloud services like AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. These types of customers always prefer virtual firewall services.

The valuable features are threat prevention to work like Jira Trust Network Access. It will benefit the customer who takes care of it and this application.

Juniper is creating Layer Three IP VPN tunnels connecting branch sites and offices together on their separate networks. Our appliances would serve as the VPN termination point, allowing them to route their traffic. If you take a company with geographically diverse offices across a particular area and want to link them together, IP VPN is the way to go, and vSRX is what we use to terminate those VPN connections.

Juniper provides access to route their traffic over the Internet through an internal VPN.

We use the product to protect our server from external threats.

The most valuable features in Juniper vSRX are traffic configuration and segmentation. These functionalities are crucial for our organization as we have different departments with varying services and applications.

We use the solution as a site-to-site VPN gateway.

The solution's most valuable feature is the logical terminal interface. It helps us with monitoring VPNs. We get alerts and other notifications when in case of system downtime using it.

Juniper vSRX is expensive. 

I have been using the product for more than ten years. 

Our primary use case for this solution is for VPN.

We find its graphical user interface valuable because we can easily route the traffic and set up the devices according to our needs.

This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good.

Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It is much easier to configure. When someone uses Juniper for the first time, it can be very intimidating. At one time, Juniper had what was known as a MAG, which was meant for remote access for users on the SRX.

They sold MAG and now remote access on Juniper leaves a lot to be desired because they don't have their own client. You have to use Pulse Secure or another solution. When there's a bug, Juniper relies on Pulse Secure and in our experience, this took six months to fix.
