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 IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"What I like the most is the configuration and that it's simple, and straightforward to maintain."
"The inspection and web security features are most valuable."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."
"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."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Its price could be better."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"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."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"he stability could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"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."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
