"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"It is a safe product."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"When compared to Palo Alto, Juniper is a better choice when it comes to the enterprise network and connectivity."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"You can scale the solution."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"We mostly use the Layer 4 firewall functions: Access rules, NAT, and site-to-site IPsec VPN."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"It needs more available central management."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
"It should have excellent integration with the other security tools."
"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
"Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"It could be more secure."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"The web interface on Juniper SRX is just a short conversion from Junos OS CLI; this is not very suitable for users with little expertise/"
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
