We did a project for the government. We deployed the Juniper Firewall on their premises. The solution is used for the security purpose of client infrastructure security. There are three types of zones: zone-to-zone-based policy, IPS intrusion, and other policies implemented there.

The product team Responses promptly
A security purpose solution for client infrastructure security with simple deployment
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
The graphical unit is slow. Also, Juniper vendor shipping of UPM devices, support, Bandwidth shift, and other activities are very complex.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Juniper vSRX for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Compared to the Palo Alto firewall and Fortinet firewall, Juniper has low stability. After deploying, I didn't face any challenges.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. There's one client requirement to make an external firewall. There is no HA. We are focusing more on the user. We are working with Fortinet, Juniper, and Cisco teams to provide our clients with the best solutions. If the client is interested in Juniper, we implement that.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. For deployment, we are using some networking devices for the routing. I deployed it in the firewall inline mode and created some zones for security purposes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
People in Bangladesh, including the government and small businesses, have pricing issues.
What other advice do I have?
Many customers are using Juniper routers and switches, which has prompted another team to work with Office 365. I am only working on the Juniper firewall part. The technical side is almost the same, and the function is similar with respect to other competitors. Juniper deployment is not very complex, but Cisco deployment is very complex.
I recommend having a price and other comparison with Palo Alto and others.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Stable solution with an easy initial setup process
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution as a site-to-site VPN gateway.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is the logical terminal interface. It helps us with monitoring VPNs. We get alerts and other notifications when in case of system downtime using it.
What needs improvement?
The solution's GUI needs improvement. Whenever we do some modifications, the systems get restarted. Thus, I have to use the command line interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Juniper vSRX version 13 as a customer for the last five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have more than 20 to 30 site-to-site VPNs established using the solution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Compared with the solution, Cisco ASA needs proper SNMP and MIB monitoring in case of IPSec VPN tunnel downtime.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is inexpensive.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution to others and rate it an eight out of ten. It is a very inexpensive box and has good features as well.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Excellent tool for data security
Great quality and performance, but the solution could improve its technical support
What is most valuable?
The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors.
What needs improvement?
The solution could improve its technical support. It could also improve its performance and ticket handling.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am working on the solution currently for three of my clients.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Most of the clients might choose Cisco, Palo Alto, and Fortinet over Juniper because of the difference in pricing, quality, performance, ticket handling, and technical support.
What other advice do I have?
The product has a good market in our country. Juniper’s MX1000 and other series have firewall and routing features. However, in other products, the firewall and routing feature is separated. Most Juniper devices combine routing switches and firewalls on a single platform.
Overall, I rate the solution a six or seven out of ten.
Solid network and security features, service needs improvement.
