We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall and Juniper Contrail SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"The VPN is great."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is very simple, easy to use, and flexible."
"When our customer needs some optimization, along with performance and security. If they want everything in one package, I recommend Forcepoint because they have everything."
"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"It is a scalable product. I know a customer who has deployed more than 4,000 firewalls in a single deployment."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"Its interface is complex when compared with a firewall like FortiGate. Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall needs a management console, whereas FortiGate doesn't need any console. When you have a few devices, a console is not really necessary. It's good to have a private console only when you have a lot of devices."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
