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

"The only firewall able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. Can detect unauthorized devices plugged into the network, which standard firewalls can't do."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"It has been stable so far."
"Hillstone supports IOT setup and detecting intrusions from IOT or CCTV connectivity, and with this solution, we can also detect unauthorized devices plugged into the CCTV network and sound the alarm to the administrator."
"We found some limitations with Fortinet FortiGate, and we are satisfied with Hillstone T-Series right now."
"We find its graphical user interface valuable because we can easily route the traffic and set up the devices according to our needs."
"On a qualitative level, Juniper vSRX is taking care of what we need it to."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls function with high performance."
"Juniper vSRX has everything at the moment; they are covering it all and getting into automation, which is great."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people, and they can use their mobile phones and everything to get authenticated."
"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."
"It is used on-premise at the customer site, and it is useful for management, and the configuration is rather easy as well."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
 

Cons

"Another loophole with Hillstone T-Series is that when we connect through WiFi and turn our hot spot on, all who connect through the hotspot get all the functions, and the security does not work."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"Licensing is not cheap, but there are customers who will buy because they understand that this has a cost involved and they will cater their budget for that."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation; if they were corrected, I would give this solution a rating of nine or ten."
"It could use more tutorials."
"I would suggest improving the pricing, particularly the licensing model."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"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."
"The GUI interface needs improvement. It also needs improvement with the VPCs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high price, I would rate the price of Hillstone T-Series at three. There are no additional costs other than renewal costs."
"We got a much cheaper price than that provided by Fortinet right now."
"It is not that costly."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
