Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"Good load balancing feature."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"I like the Firewall and the IPS."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"When comparing this solution to others this one has better reporting, user management, and is easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The VPN is great."
"The most valuable feature is SD-WAN."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"The scalability is fine."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"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."
"The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"It could be more secure."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
