We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"Fortigate is very scalable to serve our customers' needs. We have scaled already from fifty to more than a hundred instances of Fortinet FortiGate. Around 20 staff are required for deployment and maintenance, mostly engineers."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"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."
"It performs very well."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"Performance is a strong point."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"A very robust product."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"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 that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"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."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The solution's configurations and syntax are specific and more complicated than other platforms."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"The GUI needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"The solution could cost less. It's a bit expensive right now."
"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."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"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."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The SD card could be more secure."
