Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"The features that we have found most valuable in SonicWall TZ are the intrusion and brute force attack prevention."
"It's been very easy to implement and deploy."
"Most of the features are useful. It is easy to configure and easy to troubleshoot. I can see the utilization of different networks, and there are also App control features."
"Ease of management and the VPN integration."
"The scalability of SonicWall TZ is good and easy to add users."
"It lets me monitor in live time if someone is 'hogging' bandwidth."
"No negative impression of the scalability."
"The most valuable feature of SonicWall TZ is the double authentication, where it asks for one password and again asks for a four-digit code, which changes every 30 seconds."
"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."
"A very robust product."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"It can be a little bit more user-friendly in terms of policy definition and implementation. It seems a little bit complicated, and it could be simplified."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"Support for SonicWall TZ needs improvement, particularly the time it takes before you're able to speak to a support person, e.g. you have to wait for at least 30 minutes on the phone."
"Although the pricing is good, it could always be lower. If we get to pay less, we're happier."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say better load balancing and data filtering."
"An additional feature that I would like to see is reporting that includes metrics to give me more information about the number of viruses that it has actually detected and interrupted."
"I'd like to have cloud management at no additional cost. Unfortunately, leveraging SonicWall's cloud management capabilities is cost-prohibitive, so we don't use it. They should have a reasonable subscription or offer it to us at no cost as an MSP."
"I would like the solution to build in more redundancy. I"
"The areas we would like to see improvement include more features available similar to the equivalent FortiGate appliance, e.g. SSL encryption and inspection. Two-factor authentication capability would be another additional feature that could be included in the next release."
"I would like them to make the interface a little bit easier to use so you can find out where in the heck you're going instead of having to go to 15 different places to get something installed."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"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."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"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."
