Juniper SRX Series Firewall Reviews

We use it for the firewall.

It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable.

It could be more secure.

I have been using Juniper SRX for about five years.

Very stable. These firewalls are stable.

We had Cisco, but when comparing the price, Juniper SRX was cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper SRX an eight. 

The primary use case of this solution is as a next generation firewall  If I have a customer who needs a good router for the office, but they're not in a complicated situation with VPNs and the like, the SRX is great.

This is a flexible platform, it's great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall. The solution has a solid position on the market as a security device. The most important feature in the SRX is the application visibility and control because it gives the user a lot of information about the application in the traffic. Juniper SRX is great as a smaller router for smaller offices.

I think with this Juniper product, the CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow. I'd also like to see a threat intelligence feed which would hopefully monitor the network traffic flowing through the SRX to detect malware and other content.

I've been using this solution for a month. 

The overall stability is good. 

Some models are scalable but you have to have VMs to modify resources to get better performance. 

We have premium support from the company and we provide support to our customers. 

I don't deal with implementation but in a typical project we have sale, pre-sales and deployment engineers. If the project is really big, we also use project managers. There would be four people involved in a typical project. If the product requires integration of different technologies like web application firewalls, we bring in more engineers specialized in different type of technologies to integrate them together. 

I really like the architecture of the product, but it's not a leader in the market. It's a very good platform, but if the user needs more performance on the edge, I would prefer something else. If a user needs a more sophisticated next generation firewall feature or threat intelligence themes, I'm not sure they'll get that with SRX devices. I think there's a gap there. I think it's a good solution but not for everyone. 

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

The primary use case of this solution is as a firewall and a security gateway. 

The most valuable feature is the support.

The user interface and the GUI need improvement.

In the next release, I would like to see mobile support.

I have been using Juniper SRX for ten years.

We are using various versions.

It's a stable solution.

Juniper SRX is scalable.

We have 10 users in our organization.

Technical support is perfect.

We have not used another product previously.

The initial setup is straightforward and it took three hours to deploy.

Juniper SRX does not require a lot of maintenance.

We did not implement it ourselves. We had help from technical support.

We plan to continue the usage of this program in the future.

This is a product that I can recommend to others who are planning to implement it.

I would rate Juniper SRX a ten out of ten.

We are a distributor and Juniper SRX is one of the products that we work with. The SRX is a service gateway device that serves two main functions. The primary function is as a firewall, and the second is for routing traffic.

It can serve as a branch firewall or data center firewall, as well as a next-generation firewall, based on the license.

Juniper SRX has many good features that suit a variety of customer requirements.

Performance is a strong point.

There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product.

Technical support could be improved by adding local engineers.

I have been working with this product for a few months.

The Juniper SRX is very stable. Stability and performance are the strengths of Juniper products.

We have clients of all sizes for this product, from small businesses to service providers. It is very scalable.

I would rate the technical support at medium. The support is good, but other vendors have local engineers. This is something that could be improved.

The initial setup is straightforward and very easy. The length of time for deployment depends on the size of the solution.

Compared to other vendors, the pricing of this solution is good.

This is a product that I very much recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The most valuable features in this solution are AppSecure and the IPsec VPN.

The solution previously had a Clientless SSL VPN, but it has been removed and I would like access to it again.

The GUI needs improvement. I can work fine with the command line (CLI), but new people would like a better user interface.

I would like to see an SSH VPN in the next release.

I am very satisfied with the stability of this solution.

We have more than one hundred users for this solution. They range from non-technical, Level 1 users, up to administrators, technical support staff, and expert-level users.

I am satisfied with their technical support. It is better than what I have experienced with some other solutions.

This is the first solution that we implemented.

I find the setup simple, given that I have been using it for ten years. The deployment is quite easy and fast.

The price of this solution is more than other products, but it's stable, and the technical support is better than I have seen with others.

The solution was in place before I joined the company, so I am unaware if we evaluated other solutions.

We have found this solution to be easy to implement and easy to use. It is a little more expensive than some products, but it is worth the investment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

• Traceoptions
• Commit check
• Route/IPSEC VPN

It provides us with easy options for troubleshooting.

• Switching
• Routing

I've used them for two years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

There were limited security zones with each model.

10/10.

9/10.

It's a straightforward setup for us as we have a configuration template.

It depends on our customers requirements.

Check the customer requirement first.

Fast packet mover, uptime.

Stability in a heavy Microsoft environment, RPC communication.

5 years.

Numerous deplyoment issues, very early product at the time.

Numerous deployment issues, very early product at the time.

No scalability issues at all, very good for scalability.

Very impressive, but you have to know the inner workings of JTAC.

Very impressive, but you have to know the inner workings of JTAC. Juniper has a very effective 24/7 Follow The Sun.

Juniper SSG, switched because of capacity and change of focus from Juniper.

Be aware if you need RPC. Out of 18 software versions only 2 has been without issues with RPC.

The primary use case of this solution is a traditional firewall.

We use Juniper SRX for the site-to-site VPN.

The IPSec configuration is going well.

We are experiencing some issues with the clustering. It needs to be simplified and more stable.

Some of the features included in SRX need improvement. For example, if you want to change your SSH port number, you cannot go into the application layer. You will have to go to the shell command to change the port. This is a problem because when you show the configuration, you cannot see what was put in the shell. It should easier.

Also, the user interface is a bit slow.

In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive. The new generation doesn't use SSH anymore. One-click would be better.

I have been using Juniper SRX for approximately six years.

A few years ago, we were using the SRX240 now we are using a more recent version.

We deploy on SRX to handle 500 sites.

We will continue to use this solution in the future. We have no plans to change.

The technical support is a lot better because when we log a case, they respond.

We also use Fortinet FortiGate and I have some experience and knowledge of Cisco ASA.

It's not too complicated. It's plug and play.

The most challenging is when you upload the ISO. Deployment is less than one hour.

The installation is completed in-house.

We are not a large company, we have a team of less than five for deployment and maintenance.

I would recommend this solution for those who are interesting in using it for a VPN.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
