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.

Advanced GUI and layered security have supported compliance and simplified intrusion prevention
I haven't had a task that I couldn't solve with Stormshield Network Security. The active-active high availability solution would be beneficial because currently, if you build a high availability solution with Stormshield Network Security, you have a main device and another one is a backup device. The HA can switch between them, but it would be good to have a master-master solution, not just a master-slave one. I could set a URL that I can call to update the DNS record. Currently, Stormshield Network Security devices support DynDNS, which is not a usual feature request from a server environment. I have my own solution instead of DynDNS because I don't prefer it, so I have my own service for that. However, the GUI does not support using a custom service instead of DynDNS. I had to solve it in the console on Stormshield Network Security device, but it would be much better if it was reachable on the GUI. I had to figure out a trick for the IPsec configuration. In the IPsec config, we have to provide the remote side's IP address, but it's always changing. This means that an office, for example a company that has an office but without a fixed IP address, cannot be used with IPsec VPN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"The solution has good features."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls function with high performance."
"The technical support has been good."
"The support is excellent."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"I feel we have more options with the Stormshield firewall and new features that we haven't previously had."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"The multi-layered security approach of Stormshield Network Security is a good one and has helped with compliance."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
 

Cons

"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."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The GUI needs to be faster."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"One thing, though, is that not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"The pricing of this solution needs to be decreased."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
"I don’t recommend this product at all."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"It is not that costly."
"The solution is pricey."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."
"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."
"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
"The SN200 series costs between $500 USD and $600 USD per year, whereas the SN700 series costs approximately $1,000 annually."
"I think the price is good."
"The pricing could be better."
"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."
