The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages
We use the application filtering, content filtering, and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features. These features are crucial for our network security. The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance. Additionally, the ease of deployment is critical for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"I've been using this solution for around 11 years."
"Easy to maintain. Easy to use. Easy to set up. It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The valuable features are threat prevention to work like Jira Trust Network Access."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command, and the design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"Sangfor NGAF's standout feature is its powerful application control, enabling precise restrictions on mobile user access to approved applications."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"You might try Sangfor if you are on a tight budget. The price is affordable, and Sangfor offers a lot of features. We don't have any complaints about Sangfor."
"SSL VPN is the best feature."
"The capabilities are mostly within the box."
"The support from Sangfor NGAF here in Pakistan is great."
"When it comes to the price of firewall solutions, Sangfor NGAF takes the cake, as it is cheaper than Fortinet, Sophos, Check Point and Palo Alto."
 

Cons

"We experienced some technical issues during implementation; if they were corrected, I would give this solution a rating of nine or ten."
"Technical support is very bad. They never respond to any ticket you open, although we pay for the support."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The GUI is really bad."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"The GUI needs to be faster."
"I would suggest improving the pricing, particularly the licensing model."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"However, the maintenance cost can be a bit high."
"Sangfor could improve their interface capacity on the 5100 series model and upgrade their hardware from one gig to 10 gig. This would improve the overall throughput."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"The support offered by the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The knowledge levels and response time of the support team need improvement."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"I think the GUI needs to be improved, there are a lot of areas where the panes do not make sense."
