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 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."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"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."
"It has been stable so far."
"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."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The command feature is valuable."
"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."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"In general, the entire security solution is great, from end to end."
"On a qualitative level, Juniper vSRX is taking care of what we need it to."
"This solution works well, and their switches and firewall are good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation; if they were corrected, I would give this solution a rating of nine or ten."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The GUI is really bad."
"The reporting can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"It should also support modern data technologies like zero-day protection and zero-trust network access."
 

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."
"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
