Juniper SRX is a firewall offering. It provides a variety of modular features, scaled for enterprise-level use, based on a 3-in-1 OS that enables routing, switching, and security in each product.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/0K/BL/1F7ZQK20X4JW.pngJuniper SRX: The best choice for enterprise firewall.We use the Juniper SRX for various purposes ranging from dedicated site-to-site VPN endpoints, to standard firewall, to all-in-one router/firewall/switching.

We use the Juniper SRX for various purposes ranging from dedicated site-to-site VPN endpoints, to standard firewall, to all-in-one router/firewall/switching. We use the Juniper SRX for our own internal use, as well as for our clients.
  • Ease and stability of configuration. Automatic rollback makes changes foolproof.
  • Strong range of hardware options in all tiers.
  • Common OS and configuration across all models and even other Juniper products.
  • Some of the more complex setups (clustered HA, etc.) can be a little difficult to configure.
  • The lowest-end model that supports true multi-site HA is relatively expensive. It would be nice to have that option in lower models.
  • Some configuration options (particularly the way address book entries are done) can get tedious and make for very long configs.
  • Well suited for any application where a firewall or routing is needed.
  • Compared to other offerings, it is really the best.
  • The only area where there may be a need for something different is for high-end DDoS protection.

The Juniper SRX is a great product for almost any deployment, the form factor, the price point, the power and ease of use make it an all purpose FW for any situation.

I think if you're using it internally, maybe for segregation in the datacenter, this could excel if you're not worrying about application filtering. The firewalling policies are little more cumbersome to configure but are more robust than a basic ACL.

About Juniper SRX

Juniper SRX is a firewall and web security gateway. It can be deployed on-premises, as well as virtually for smaller use cases, and is optimized for enterprise-level use. Each of the SRX line are based on the Junos OS, which enables three-in-one routing, switching, and security. The features of a given product in the line are purpose-built to the scope of the business needs. These features start with base next-generation firewall (NGFW) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities. From there, the offerings scale up to include additional scalability and customizability, as well as Advanced Threat Protection and SSL inspection.
