We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Juniper vSRX 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 solution is extremely reliable."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"The technical support is great."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The most powerful feature in Juniper SRX is definitely NCLS."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"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 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."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The solution has good features."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The reports are very basic."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Lacks training for new features."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing 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."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"It could use more tutorials."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
