We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW 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 stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"The interface is very good."
"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The command line in Juniper SRX is extremely powerful, in my opinion. It's one of the best command lines I've used in networking products."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"The technical support is quite good."
"It's easily scalable."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"The scalability is fine."
"I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"The solution could cost less. It's a bit expensive right now."
"J-Web, Juniper Web, is sometimes not working great when users are increasing their internet use. Additionally, they need to improve the GUI, graphical user interface, and the firewall management needs to improve. Their CLI is good, but sometimes the GUI is very slow."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
