We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Juniper SRX Series 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 initial setup is straightforward."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The interface is very good."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"I can easily configure it."
"CLI: Junos CLI is very easy to use, and it is also very easy to find back items in the configuration and to change them."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"It's easily scalable."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"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."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"The pricing could always be better."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"Azure Firewall has limited visibility for IDPS, no TLS inspection, no app ID, no user ID, no content ID, no device ID. There is no antivirus or anti-spyware. Azure Firewall doesn't scan traffic for malware unless it triggers an IDPS signature. There is no sandbox or machine learning functionality, meaning we are not protected from Zero-day threats. There is no DNS security and limited web categories."
"The solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"We tried configuring the IDS for more than four months, but it did not work properly."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
