We performed a comparison between Stormshield Network Security and Zscaler Cloud Firewall 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."The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"A very robust product."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"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."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"It needs more available central management."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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 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."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"The product could improve its integration with some legacy systems."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
