We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and SonicWall NSv 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."It has improved our security capabilities."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"The user interface is good."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"The solution has no additional charges and no restrictions on the number of users."
"The product helps improve our security."
"We purchased the AGSS Bundle (Advanced Gateway Security Suite) for the security services, such as antivirus, intrusion prevention system, and anti-spyware botnet GUI."
"The customization of firewall rules provides great value to our customers as it allows them to lock things up in the way that they desire. When it is used for internal access, with a VPN in place for remote workers, the firewalling services provided by Azure, such as the default services that can be turned on, are applied. However, the use of a software-based virtual firewall gives us greater flexibility in introducing security controls for customers who are publishing applications that are publicly accessible from the public cloud. This virtual firewall provides an additional layer of security and more extensive security control options to ensure the protection of our customers' valuable information and assets."
"One of the standout features of SonicWall is its simplicity in creating and managing rules."
"The security of this system is fantastic, including the IPS and IDS."
"SonicWall NSV is easy to use, and you can use it to manage the logs easily."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"FortiGate should have a better way of detecting and managing the system memory because otherwise if the memory is too low, a system restart is required."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"FortiGate support could do some improvements on their IPv6 configuration. Right now it's still in the very early stage for utilizing in an enterprise level network environment."
"The product only has basic features."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"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/"
"It has been brought to our attention by a few customers that they are dissatisfied with the fact that our virtualized service is only offered as a subscription option on the cloud. However, it is worth noting that many other similar services are also offered through a subscription model on the cloud and not through perpetual licensing. It is unclear why these customers would have an issue with this subscription service when so many others are utilizing similar methods."
"An area that could be improved is the export and import settings functionality."
"SonicWall NSV's initial setup is complicated and requires good knowledge."
"I would like to see the reporting opened up and have several more opportunities for automatic reports."
"SonicWall NSV's SSL VPN could increase its number of users to 100-plus users."
"There are limitations to bandwidth management."
"We face some challenges when we upgrade the solution."
