It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use. Their support needs improvement, as they could not help us and everything stopped working.

We are not happy with the support. It is a basic support offering. Sometimes, we have to chase support on progress, which is not good, especially on firewalls. We are an enterprise and we have firewalls on the edge. If we have an issue, I want support to be on top of issues, because for us, it's a lot of money if the firewall fails. They only give support up to a specific level, and when we like to exceed that level of support, then we need to fall back on our reseller. This is one issue. If your reseller landscape is not really up to speed, then in the most critical cases, we're depending on the reseller and not on the support of Stormshield because we cannot escalate. It's impossible for us to escalate a situation at Stormshield by ourselves. We have to fall back on our reseller. When our reseller was on vacation, it was impossible for us to act on an issue. We had just created a brand new firewall cluster to offload our website. Then, all of a sudden, we bumped into root errors on the connection which pointed to the firewall, and Stormshield support couldn't even help us fix it. Therefore, we had serious issues for a couple of weeks and it was all related to firewalls. It was a combination of unexpected or unwanted behavior and bugs. Sometimes things happen that can be due to configuration errors or something we did ourselves, which is not according to the plan, eventually we ruled everything out, and it was mainly due to the firmware on the Stormshield firewalls. The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me. I would rate their support as a five out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."

"It has improved our organization with control data."

"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."

"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."

"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."

"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."

"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."

More Fortinet FortiGate pros

"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."

"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."

"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."

"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."

"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."

"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."

"The technical support has been good."

"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."

More Juniper vSRX pros

"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."

"This solution is quick and easy to configure."

"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."

"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."

"The scalability of the solution is good."

"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."

"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."

"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."

More Stormshield Network Security pros

Cons

"They need to improve their technical support."

"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."

"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."

"The logging details need to be improved."

"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."

"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."

"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."

"Technical support for this solution can be improved."

More Fortinet FortiGate cons

"The biggest downside of Juniper vSRX is its pricing, which may be too high for smaller organizations. While it's a decent solution, the cost may limit its accessibility to smaller customers."

"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."

"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."

"They could provide support for cloud deployments."

"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."

"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."

"The GUI needs to be faster."

"he stability could be improved."

More Juniper vSRX cons

"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."

"This is not a next-generation firewall."

"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."

"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."

"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."

"The SD card could be more secure."

"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiGate's pricing falls within the mid-range when compared to other leading firewall solutions."

"The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."

"It is affordable. Palo Alto is much more expensive than Fortinet."

"The price depends on the size of the company. From the beginning, you just want to know the internet bandwidths, speed, and the number of users to be able to offer the right product and model. They have a lot of products in FortiGate according to the size of the company, like 200D and 300D."

"Fortinet is reasonable in pricing and licensing. Overall, FortiGate is affordable. The licensing fee can be a little high, depending on the budget for your project."

"Here in Brazil, we're going through difficult economic times and the tax on the dollar is high. All the solutions from minor competitors are growing in the market. The prices have come more competitive."

"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable."

"I think that the pricing is fair."

More Fortinet FortiGate pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pricey."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."

"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."

"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."

"The solution could have been cheaper."

More Juniper vSRX pricing and cost advice

"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."

"I think the price is good."

"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."

"The SN200 series costs between $500 USD and $600 USD per year, whereas the SN700 series costs approximately $1,000 annually."

"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."

"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."

"The pricing could be better."
