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."I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"It has improved our organization with control data."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The user interface is good."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"One of the standout features of SonicWall is its simplicity in creating and managing rules."
"The product helps improve our security."
"SonicWall NSV is easy to use, and you can use it to manage the logs easily."
"The solution has no additional charges and no restrictions on the number of users."
"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."
"The security of this system is fantastic, including the IPS and IDS."
"We purchased the AGSS Bundle (Advanced Gateway Security Suite) for the security services, such as antivirus, intrusion prevention system, and anti-spyware botnet GUI."
"It needs more available central management."
"You do need some IT knowledge in order to effectively work with the solution."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"The product only has basic features."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
"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."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"We face some challenges when we upgrade the solution."
"SonicWall NSV's initial setup is complicated and requires good knowledge."
"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."
"There are limitations to bandwidth management."
"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."
