We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX 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."The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The technical support is great."
"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 product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The technical support has been good."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"Its customer service could be better."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"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 GUI interface needs improvement."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"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."
"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."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
