Juniper in Gartner's Magic Quadrant on Firewalls

Gartner Consulting, provider of statistics, forecasts and market analysis, has just released its latest Firewall report.

It has put Juniper in the best possible position of the "Magic Quadrant".
This demonstrates Juniper's ability to execute and their completeness of vision and demonstrates Juniper's leadership in the market.

The report states that "Juniper was identified as the greatest network firewall competitor by the majority of companies surveyed".

These topics were identified as Juniper's strengths:

• Ease of management and technical support were most often listed by users as what they like about Juniper firewalls.
• Post-sales support was rated highly by users, although first-line support satisfaction is more mixed.
• Juniper Networks has a strong enterprise option in Juniper SSG for high-end, purpose built appliances, and expresses a clear road map for firewall and security customers.
• Juniper has good branch-office firewalls, complementing the enterprise products, and recognizes that enterprises want the same vendor for central and branch deployments. Its branch-office firewalls include WOC and an Avaya voice gateway.
• It has good networking support for routing, protocols and port composition. Juniper's price/management/performance blend is the strongest of the competitors.
• Juniper recently released two new high-end, chassis-based products - the SRX 5600 and 5800 models. The SRX combines firewall, IPS and non-security functions, such as routing.
• Juniper's OEM deal with Q1 Labs gives Juniper a competitive single-vendor SIEM offering.
• Juniper was identified as the greatest network firewall competitor by the majority of companies surveyed.
