Juniper SRX is used as Network Firewall, which is responsible for securing the workload behind it. It addresses Network Security within the organization, limits the access of the organization's internal network, and secures the enterprise network from threats and from malicious users. Juniper SRX also helped send the traffic to the Internet with the help of Network Address Translation.
  • Network Address Translation.
  • Securing the Enterprise Workload.
  • Enterprise VPN Connectivity.
  • Antivirus Features can be more advanced.
  • Antispam Filtering features have room for improvement.
  • Cloud Capabilities.
Juniper SRX is well suited for a Service Provider Environment where a high volume of traffic has to pass through the firewall; SRX handles that really well. SRX Network Address Translation (NAT) capabilities are very seamless. SRX also does pretty well in supporting VPN architecture. SRX is less suitable for a typical enterprise environment where multiple capabilities are needed in a single product.
  • IPSec VPN.
  • Network Address Translation.
  • Security Policies.

  • It really helped secure a big service provider environment.
  • It handles the traffic pretty well.
  • It helps in the seamless implementation of Firewall policies.
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.
Most of the teams are the application teams, hosting their application environment on prem, and connects via Juniper SRX to external partners or toward the internet. These application team also securing their environment via Juniper SRX firewall.
Networking team is the admin team who manages the firewall.

Network Security skills are required for supporting the Juniper SRX. Day to day work is manage the firewall faults, as well as changes in firewall configuration as per the application requirement, such as to allow to deny the traffic.
  • Securing the applications.
  • Establishing the connectivity with partner networks.
  • On Prem to Cloud Connectivity.
  • SRX is being used to handle of lot of NAT connections, instead of using the dedicated NATing devices.
  • SRX is used as external point for any Internet traffic to hit the Internal network.
  • Enabling the features such as making it as the proxy server.
  • Utilizing the Decryption capabilities.

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.
  • It is difficult to measure ROI, as the SRX is a basic requirement for us.
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.
