Compared to the competition, juniper is far behind in terms of user friendly and easy to work with making it the least-used firewall in multiple big companies. Its GUI is too outdated with competitions like checkpoint firewall and palo alto firewall

Palo Alto's web interface is incredibly simple to use. For such a robust firewall with so many features, it is incredibly easy to use. Documentation is abundant and I have never had an issue finding what I need.

Price is a bit extreme. The web gui is absolutely rubbish. It locks up and takes forever to load.devices are extremely expensive.
