We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Palo Alto Networks VM-Series 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."It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"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."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"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."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"Centralized management is valuable because it allows us to configure settings in one location and apply them across all three locations."
"A solid operating system with all the necessary data center security features."
"The tool's cloud version makes application migration easy."
"It has a good performance which helps you with the stability of your virtual environment."
"It is nice to have a rock solid security platform that we can count on."
"The solution enables organizations to enforce policies."
"It is an easy-to-scale product."
"The feature that I have found the most useful is that it meets all our requirements technically."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"he stability could be improved."
"The product could be better in terms of performance than one of its competitors."
"The utilization monitoring and GUI have room for improvement."
"We have ran into issues with Palo Alto’s limitations for resolving large IP lists from DNS lookups, as well as the antivirus interfering with App-ID."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"The interface is all Java-based. I would prefer an HTML5 interface."
"Palo Alto should update their documentation to make it more readable and provide easier-to-follow instructions through videos."
"From time to time, they have released some content updates that have some issues, maybe twice a year."
"The implementation should be simplified."
