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.

Pros

"Hillstone CloudEdge is compatible with all the mainstream public cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud."
"I would recommend this product to any business that wants to protect its cloud environment, cloud server, or on-premises virtual servers."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"I'd rate the solution nine out of ten."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"Juniper vSRX is very scalable and easy to use."
"Juniper is better than Cisco for management."
"They constitute a solid working solution that has been able to cope with any of the unique challenges that have come up."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"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."
"The command feature is valuable."
"We find its graphical user interface valuable because we can easily route the traffic and set up the devices according to our needs."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in AI features, particularly for zero-day attacks and providing maintenance guidance."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"Processing is too slow between Juniper and Cisco."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
