We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Waterfall Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"Fortigate is very scalable to serve our customers' needs. We have scaled already from fifty to more than a hundred instances of Fortinet FortiGate. Around 20 staff are required for deployment and maintenance, mostly engineers."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"On a scale from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being the best I'd give Juniper SRX an overall rating of eight because of its' competitive price."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"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."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"This is a professional solution which has been the most valuable aspect of its use."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"Third-party support for Juniper is a lot less than Cisco. This is no surprise, but a definite consideration if you are expecting to use a lot of third party support. In my guesstimate, for every 100 Cisco shops, you will find one Juniper shop."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"The interface of this solution could be more user friendly. The initial set up could also be made more simple."
