Cons
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features.""Technical support could be faster.""The reporting part could be more user-friendly for troubleshooting and identifying network issues. It should be more easy for a normal user to identify the problem in their network.""The documentation is not straightforward.""Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature.""The data support response time should be improved.""The reporting should be improved as well as the backup.""The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."

"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful.""The product must improve its pricing.""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.""Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer.""The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me.""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.""The SD card could be more secure."
