Stratos-Margaritis - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at Navarino SA
The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages
We use the application filtering, content filtering, and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features. These features are crucial for our network security. The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance. Additionally, the ease of deployment is critical for us.
Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO at Indus Motor Company
Enhanced threat detection with integrated security features and good support
We are using application firewalling, WAF, and SD-WAN. The capabilities are mostly within the box. For example, you will get web application firewall WAF as part and parcel of this. SD-WAN is also bundled. It integrates with their SIEM and SOAR solutions very nicely. Lastly, the pricing point is very cost-efficient as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The solution has good features."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people, and they can use their mobile phones and everything to get authenticated."
"The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"Stability-wise, it is very good; this product is very stable and it's proven to be a very good tool for us."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"SSL VPN is the best feature."
"The support from Sangfor NGAF here in Pakistan is great."
"This product is very user-friendly, and its Layer 7 security is very much improved."
"The top functionality is the reporting feature."
"Sangfor serves most of the basic purposes of a firewall, is particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect the inbound and outbound traffic on a very granular level, gives a very good predictive measure as well as the current measure of things going on in our network, and gives us value for money overall."
"Sangfor's tech features and technologies are more powerful than those of the other solution providers in terms of security. They also have big solutions in terms of cybersecurity."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
 

Cons

"The GUI is really bad."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"I recommend looking elsewhere. I'm not particularly enamored with Juniper vSRX."
"The biggest downside of Juniper vSRX is its pricing, which may be too high for smaller organizations. While it's a decent solution, the cost may limit its accessibility to smaller customers."
"The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"The cost of licensing is very high compared to other firewalls available here. There should be improvements in hardware scalability, allowing for more storage and memory capacity."
"The reporting and log management could be improved."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered SD-WAN capabilities."
"We have deployed many firewalls and have faced two or three faulty devices that we have to replace over a year because their power supply was faulty."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"I feel Sangfor should follow the hierarchy and close deals via resellers instead of closing it all with their own team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"It is not that costly."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"Price-wise, I would not consider Sangfor NGAF to be a cheap product. It is an expensive firewall solution, though not as expensive as something like Palo Alto, which is costly. However, the higher price point is justifiable given the feature set the tool provides that other firewalls may not offer in a single dedicated appliance."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is unmatcheable."
"When it comes to the price of firewall solutions, Sangfor NGAF takes the cake."
"We purchased one year technical support and return to factory support, and we also purchased one-year technical support services. So those were additional."
"The price could be more competitive."
"The product is very cost-effective compared to other brands or vendors."
"I rate the product price as one on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
