We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Zscaler Cloud 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 Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"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."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"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."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"It would be a benefit if Fortinet would release a one-stop solution that is better integrated with other products and an automated emergency response system."
"Lacks training for new features."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"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."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"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."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"The solution could cost less. It's a bit expensive right now."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall has to improve its web content site, like web filtration."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Its technical support services could be better."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
