Overall Satisfaction with Juniper SRX

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.
  • 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.

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.
