Comprehensive cloud security with robust threat protection and VPN capabilities
Hillstone CloudEdge is compatible with all the mainstream public cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud. This solution has a unified OS system for security products, ensuring that the virtual firewall has similar features to the on-premise solutions. Important features include a VPN, VTech VPN, SSL VPN, QoS, antivirus, threat protection, and sandbox capabilities.

The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages
We use the application filtering, content filtering, and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features. These features are crucial for our network security. The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance. Additionally, the ease of deployment is critical for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would recommend this product to any business that wants to protect its cloud environment, cloud server, or on-premises virtual servers."
"I'd rate the solution nine out of ten."
"Hillstone CloudEdge is compatible with all the mainstream public cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"Easy to maintain. Easy to use. Easy to set up. It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"In general, the entire security solution is great, from end to end."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I like the role-based functions, but the device can now perform most of the tasks. We have open access to CLI. You can access it directly. Many vendors have also opened their CLI to Linux, making troubleshooting easier."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"It is used on-premise at the customer site, and it is useful for management, and the configuration is rather easy as well."
"The command feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"There is room for improvement in AI features, particularly for zero-day attacks and providing maintenance guidance."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The SRX is a different device. It is much more sensitive to unexpected power loss so we had to RMA several after unexpected site power outages."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"Technical support is very bad. They never respond to any ticket you open, although we pay for the support."
"They really need to improve the GUI."

"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
