Considered Both Products	Juniper SRX Verified User Engineer Chose Juniper SRX Juniper SRX stands tall compared to all these products for Large Service Provider Networks, where traffic volume is larger. Also, cost comparison with SRX's few other products can also be another contributing factor while selecting this. As well as Juniper Routers, Switches, … Helpful? Amr Momtaz Cloud Migration Architect Chose Juniper SRX The juniper is very versatile router/firewall box. it is an excellent router/edge device with zone based firewall. Incentivized Helpful? Eric Stephenson Staff System Engineer Chose Juniper SRX The comparison between the different firewalls is really down to preference and price at this point. The SRX is a solid device, and we have not seen a hardware failure to date. The Juniper support I have had is stellar and has helped me out with larger more complex scenario … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Juniper SRX Equipment prices ran about the same. Performance and management were also more or less equal. The biggest deciding factors for going with Juniper were (1) fewer security incidents related to SRX firewalls and (2) technical support costs were significantly less. Incentivized Helpful? Randy Carpenter Vice President Chose Juniper SRX Juniper SRX is significantly better in every category. Cisco ASA was terrible. The config is unintuitive and not easy to manage. Cisco left the ASA abandoned from any kind of meaningful software updates for around a decade. Incentivized Helpful? Robert Beck Network Engineer Chose Juniper SRX I love the Cisco ASA but I've become used to the SRX. I am a CLI kind of guy so the SRX works for me. Others may be more GUI based so the ASA may be more comfortable to you. If that's the case then the ASA's ASDM is a solid platform to manage your FW. Junos hasn't gotten this … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Juniper SRX The SRX Stacks up well to the ASA and Sonic wall but I feel the features provided by FortiGate/Palo Alto and Checkpoint far exceed that of the competitors.

User Testimonials
	Juniper SRX
Likelihood to Recommend	Juniper Networks SRXs seem to be well suited at the enterprise level for plain routers, firewalls, and IDP/IDS. They work well on MPLS and Ethernet, including Internet. I have 3 SRXs also performing edge duty, with 2 in a high availability (HA) cluster. The Juniper line of SRXs provides a good range of scaling from small business to extremely large enterprise. Wire speed is a common comparison factor and Juniper shines in that area. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Juniper Networks Edge Device (Tunneling & Routing) Routing Instances Zone Based Firewall L3 Gateway/Vlan termination DHCP Server & DHCP Relay Good support community & Good available documentation Good support by the Vendor Incentivized Amr Momtaz Cloud Migration Architect Read full review
Cons	Juniper Networks My only real criticism of the product is that it's hard to figure out how to upgrade the firmware from the CLI via TFTP via the docs, but it works great once you get it sorted. Incentivized Bear Golightly IT Operations Manager / IT Service Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Juniper Networks This is the one area where I have a beef with Juniper. When I called into Cisco TAC, 90% of the time, the first person I spoke with was able to resolve my issue. With Juniper TAC, 90% of the time, the first person I speak with is not able to resolve my issue, seems to almost be reading from a script, and must escalate my ticket. All of which takes time.

Alternatives Considered	Juniper Networks Juniper SRX stands tall compared to all these products for Large Service Provider Networks, where traffic volume is larger. Also, cost comparison with SRX's few other products can also be another contributing factor while selecting this. As well as Juniper Routers, Switches, and multiple products from the same vendor to maintain one single vendor environment. As well as Juniper Support is also really good.

Return on Investment	Juniper Networks It is a workhorse for our field operations. It provides the last touch for an ISP to the customer. The customer has no view of the device, but with the repeatability of the device, they do not need to. The ability to roll out a dynamic routing protocol attached to a security zone allows elasticity to the environment that supports growth. VLAN support on the inside interfaces allow this to be the only device in some smaller deployments we install these in. Incentivized Eric Stephenson Staff System Engineer Read full review
