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

"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"It has been stable so far."
"We found some limitations with Fortinet FortiGate, and we are satisfied with Hillstone T-Series right now."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was very straightforward; there was no problem and the initial deployment took about one hour."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"They constitute a solid working solution that has been able to cope with any of the unique challenges that have come up."
"The solution has good features."
"Juniper vSRX has everything at the moment; they are covering it all and getting into automation, which is great."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Stability-wise, it is very good; this product is very stable and it's proven to be a very good tool for us."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
 

Cons

"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"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."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"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."
"The GUI interface needs improvement. It also needs improvement with the VPCs."
"It should also support modern data technologies like zero-day protection and zero-trust network access."
"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."
"With the GUI, the firewall is not easy to use. It doesn't cover all the features."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"When we started with vSRX we came over from NetScreen. With vSRX we had a lot of problems and management was very hard to work with."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a much cheaper price than that provided by Fortinet right now."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
"It is not that costly."
