I find Juniper SRX Series Firewall to be a reliable solution, as I have configured it for many customers and they have operated for more than a year without any problems, so I consider Juniper to be one of the more reliable firewalls.

I believe the scalability of Juniper SRX Series Firewall is good for mid-range and upper-range firewalls, but the branch models are not very scalable.

The main challenge I see as a distributor is Juniper's rating in the Gartner report, where Juniper is not a leader in enterprise security, which often influences customer conversations.

The weakest point of Juniper is the graphical user interface. With a better user interface and graphical interface, the Juniper SRX Series Firewall could be a superior solution compared to what it is now.

It's unexpected that market support is very limited now, and SRX firewall will become obsolete and reach end-of-life.

There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX.
