We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality.""The technical support services are excellent.""It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security.""The solution has good features.""The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great.""The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour.""The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."

"The SVM deployment has very good performance.""The most valuable features of the solution are VM security, VLP, and threat protection.""I like Sophos Virtualization Security's built-in antivirus and malware protection. The firewalls are pretty stable. It's just a matter of updating the virus signatures, and they're pretty good about providing those updates regularly.""Using this solution allows us to set up rule-based access control.""When it comes to their firewall, it notified me about a possible infection."

Cons
"They could provide support for cloud deployments.""he stability could be improved.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good.""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.""The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive.""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.""Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure.""The solution could improve its technical support."

"Sophos Virtualization Security requires more usage. For example, if you have a virtual service line of 100 nodes, you are unable to deploy them from the console to a particular environment.""I would like to see some new features for improving the security part of the solution.""The solution would be improved if all of the advanced features were included in the SVM.""I wish Sophos could offer the solution at a lower price, but I doubt they will.""We are unable to reliably specify bandwidth limits for particular clients, which is something that needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
  • "We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "It is not that costly."
  • "After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
  • "As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
  • "The solution could have been cheaper."
  • More Juniper vSRX Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For virtualization security, the cost is approximately $50 USD per seat."
  • "Depending on the subscription, the price ranges from $700 to $1,000. There's a subscription for the antivirus and malware and another that includes web and email. So you might need that extended subscription if you were housing an email firewall. Otherwise, you pay a flat rate for the firewall. It's not based on the number of users."
