We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"Their reliability and their policy of pre-shipping replacements when a unit has failed."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"One of the nice things about FortiGate is that it can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises. You can actually do both. That's the biggest reason why I stick with this solution as opposed to something like Cisco Meraki. Another nice thing is that I can log directly into a FortiGate or get to it through their FortiCloud access products. They're pretty reliable and consistent. One of the reasons why I started using the product was their single pane of management. I can deploy their line of firewalls in conjunction with their switching and access points, and I can manage the entire network from one interface. I don't have to log into one interface for the firewall, another one for the access points, and another one for the switches. These firewalls have access point controller functionality built right into the system, so I don't even have to purchase additional devices to manage them."
"It has improved our security capabilities."
"FortiGate's web and URL filtering are unlike any other firewall I've used. The functionality of URL filtering in those solutions is problematic because everything is encrypted, and firewalls can't break that encryption protocol. Fortinet has an SSL proxy, so the encryption is done before the packet ever leaves the FortiGate. The URL filter is definitely one of the most helpful features."
"The performance is good."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"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 offer high performance"
"The command feature is valuable."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The technical support has been good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"A very robust product."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"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."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
