Juniper Networks SRX440
★ 3.3 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Firewall Throughput: 300-500 Mbps (Juniper Hardware Compatibility Tool; not confirmed against a datasheet)
  • Threat Prevention Throughput: Not found in sources reviewed
  • IPsec VPN Throughput: Not found in sources reviewed
  • Max Sessions: Not found in sources reviewed
  • New Sessions/sec: Not found in sources reviewed
  • Interfaces: 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45; 2x 1GbE SFP; 1x 1GbE RJ-45 management; 1x console (USB Type-C)
  • Form Factor: 1U fixed chassis, fanless, 1.3 in x 11.81 in x 7.52 in, 3.52 lb (SRX440) / 4 lb (SRX440-2AC); 8 GB DRAM

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Compact 1U fixed fanless design suited to branch offices; 8 RJ-45 plus 2 SFP ports for flexible branch connectivity; Two RJ-45 ports support PoE+ at 30W per port (per one source, not verified on datasheet); SRX440-2AC variant adds a second AC power inlet for power redundancy; Part of Juniper's SRX line with routing and SD-WAN capabilities
  • ✘ Cons: Published firewall throughput of 300-500 Mbps is low for modern WAN speeds; No verified IPsec VPN, session, or new-sessions-per-second figures were found in the sources reviewed; Only 2 SFP ports limits fiber uplink options; Price is high relative to its throughput; Redundant power requires the more expensive SRX440-2AC model
  • Est. Price: $7,350 - $9,800

★ 5.0 Value Score

Technical Specifications

  • Firewall Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti. Third-party tests: about 3.8-4.7 Gbps internet (WAN) throughput; about 3.0 Gbps inter-VLAN routing
  • Threat Prevention Throughput: 5 Gbps IDS/IPS (Ubiquiti spec)
  • IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti. Unverified third-party estimate of about 1.8-2.2 Gbps
  • Max Sessions: Not published
  • New Sessions/sec: Not published
  • Interfaces: 2x 10G SFP+ ports; 8x 1GbE RJ45 LAN ports; 1x 2.5GbE RJ45 WAN port (sources conflict on WAN; one lists a 25GbE WAN port)
  • Form Factor: 1U rackmount

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: 5 Gbps IDS/IPS rating from Ubiquiti; 10G SFP+ ports for fast uplinks or LAN; Multi-WAN support with 2.5GbE WAN; Integrated UniFi Network controller and UniFi OS for centralized management; Built-in NVR bay for UniFi Protect cameras; Rackmount 1U form factor suited to server racks
  • ✘ Cons: Ubiquiti does not publish firewall, VPN, or session-rate figures; Real-world WAN throughput in independent tests is about 3-4.7 Gbps, below the 5 Gbps IDS/IPS rating; Port layout and WAN specs differ between sources; Costs about 2x the UDM Pro (about $220 more) for a modest throughput gain; Limited 1GbE LAN port count compared with dedicated switches; Requires UniFi ecosystem for full feature set
  • Est. Price: $599 - $660
