**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2023

The Juniper Secure Connect and Next generation firewall security capabilities with ease of integration with good quality customer support are the best ones I like in vsrx. It works similar to on premises firewall but in virutualized environment with great features .

This product is good for small and medium scaled companies for integration but for big enterprise there is a room improvement in API integrations, Automation, implementation etc.

Happy with cloud data protection and firewall tools. The smooth data encryption feature ensures that data is secure and always protected. Also, multi-factor authentication ensures data is in safe hands.

**What do you dislike about vSRX?**

API integration took a while, and this can be improved upon. The backup feature returned errors sometimes. However, it got resolved later. Would be glad if the product team takes a shorter turnaround time.

It helps me secure essential business data and protect it against unwanted outside intrusions. I can rely on these tools for my database management requirements.  Especially happy with the deduplication feature, and I can deploy resources within the company on other vital aspects.

  ### 4. Solid network and security features, service needs improvement.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Felix R. | Onboarding Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023

**What do you like best about vSRX?**

Overall, I've always found Juniper's products pretty reliable and future-proof, and vSRX was no exception. vSRX was our standard firewall at a previous company, and not only did it perform up to standards, it also had the other advantage of being virtual. We were delighted with the product itself.

**What do you dislike about vSRX?**

We found that service was pretty lacking when something inevitably went wrong with one of the devices.

**What problems is vSRX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was the Firewall Software of choice at a previous company I worked for. After much consideration I believe the company went with Juniper's product due to their expertise in the area.
