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."Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The most useful functionality of Fortinet FortiGate is the user interface, multiple engines, and their cloud with the latest integrations. Additionally, the Security Fabric tool is very good."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"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."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"
"The solution is scalable."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"FortiGate should have a better way of detecting and managing the system memory because otherwise if the memory is too low, a system restart is required."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"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 would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"In terms of other features, I'd like to see a web filter, 10 point control, application control and a DNA filter in the next release."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"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."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
