We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Sangfor NGAF 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."FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"The security on offer is very good."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"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."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"The level of support provided to local companies is good. They transform their application control and other settings according to that country."
"The absolute best part of Sangfor NGAF is their support. It's a 24/7 support channel, and the last time I requested their assistance I got a reply within three minutes. They helped solve the problem immediately."
"SSL VPN is the best feature."
"In our hospital, Sangfor NGAF works well for us in terms of ensuring confidentiality and availability, which are crucial in the healthcare industry."
"It offers application control features."
"Sangfor is a good solution that provides a WAF and firewall solution. Most other vendors, like Sophos and Fortinet and Cisco, only provide one solution. That's a valuable feature of Sangfor."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"They should make the rule sets more understandable for the end user. When you're trying to explain to somebody how a computer network is secured, sometimes it's difficult for an end user or customer to understand. If there was a way to make the terminology more accessible to the end user, the set up could be easier. They should translate the technical jargon to an easily relatable and understandable conversation for the end user, the customer, that would be brilliant. Particularly in an environment where the IT structure is audited regularly, there's always pressure from the auditor to up the standards and up the security and you get your USCERT's that come out and there's a warning about this and the customer will want to lock out so much and when you apply it they run into issue where they can't search the internet or print to their remote office. Of course they can't print to your remote office, they just locked it up. They should make the language more understandable for the customer. If there's a product out there that made the jargon understandable to John Q. Public, I would buy that."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall has to improve its web content site, like web filtration."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"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."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
"I would be happy if Sangfor developed a firewall designed specifically for home use, as well as for small businesses such as clinics and so on. A household version of the Sangfor firewall for your personal computer or laptop would be ideal, in my opinion."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"The interface and user experience are horrible."
"The tool is expensive."
"An area of improvement for Sangfor NGAF could be in the field of reporting and logging."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"Sangfor could improve their interface capacity on the 5100 series model and upgrade their hardware from one gig to 10 gig. This would improve the overall throughput."
"The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation."
