We performed a comparison between Sangfor NGAF and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"The security on offer is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"Particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect inbound and outbound traffic."
"You might try Sangfor if you are on a tight budget. The price is affordable, and Sangfor offers a lot of features. We don't have any complaints about Sangfor."
"The most valuable features are the WAN optimization, the internet access gateway (IAG), and the central console, which allows us to implement on their firewall."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"It's a very simple to use product."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"We can utilize our own network rather than paying for a private one."
"Technical support is very good."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"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 can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"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."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"The scalability could be better."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"It does not offer any recommendations on how to mitigate or control attacks."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"The setup phase is quite complex."
"An area of improvement for Sangfor NGAF could be in the field of reporting and logging."
"The interface and user experience are horrible."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"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."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
