SRX Review
- These will route your traffic well and support most all major routing protocols.
- VPN Termination is straightforward compared to some competitors.
- The commit feature on the SRX puts it way ahead in the ability to roll back changes in case of an error/unplanned consequence.
- This is personal preference, but I strongly dislike the XML format that is displayed if you do not use the display set option.
- Commands to do some simple operations are much longer/more cumbersome compared to some of its main counterparts.
- The lack of application detection is a big knock on these, we ended up replacing the one in my office with a next-gen firewall to give us greater control.
- If you were using this for internal firewalling for traffic you "trust" this could provide a positive impact on your infrastructure.
- For a perimeter firewall I am not impressed with lack of a lot of current next gen technologies (at least on the models I have used).
- The return on investment can be very good in the right situation. The low cost vs competitors offers great ROI.
