We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"The solution is stable."
"The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"The solution has good features."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"The hardware is stable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"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 solution could improve its technical support."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"The product must improve its pricing."
