Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability.""Offers good security and filtering.""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.""The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period.""The customization potential is quite impressive.""Overall security features and performance routing is good.""What I like the most is the configuration and that it's simple, and straightforward to maintain.""The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."

"The technical support has been good.""This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good.""The initial setup is pretty simple.""The command feature is valuable.""The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good.""The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality.""The pricing is reasonable.""It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."

"The VPN is excellent on the solution.""The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection.""The solution has good load balancers.""The best feature is the flexibility the product offers, in terms of remote access. What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required.""The solution is excellent for web and application filtering and remote access with the VPN.""Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN.""The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos.""We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."

Cons
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers.""The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable.""The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response.""The cloud features can be improved.""The support system could be improved.""Some of the web policy reports could be improved.""It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server.""Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates.""I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware.""Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products.""The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good.""They really need to improve the GUI.""We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases.""The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."

More Juniper vSRX Cons →

"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant.""The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections.""There are some issues with logs and report limitations.""The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on.""Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud.""The implementation policy needs improvment.""The blocking needs to be improved.""The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."

Pricing and Cost Advice
