Solutions Architect at Navarino SA
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

"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."
"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."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"Juniper vSRX has everything at the moment; they are covering it all and getting into automation, which is great."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"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."
"It is used on-premise at the customer site, and it is useful for management, and the configuration is rather easy as well."
"The integration and configuration with AWS was excellent."
"The features I find most valuable is the backup inspection, the filtering, and the load balancing, and I am also impressed by the antivirus feature that gives us two controls over the viruses - one is from the parameter and one on the endpoint."
"The StormShield solution has enabled us to fully implement best practices from Microsoft in the cloud : the hub and spoke architecture."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"Stormshield Network Security is a very stable solution and the solution works perfectly so we never had to contact technical support."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the URL filtering database, which is great and contains all internet categories, the highly scalable interface that I can turn into what I want including hybrid, bridge, or router mode, the security with no back doors that is more secure than other solutions, and the hardware performance that is also better than others."
"The performance of this solution is good."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The GUI needs to be faster."
"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."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"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."
"The GUI interface needs improvement. It also needs improvement with the VPCs."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"An application firewall like other next generation firewalls have."
"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."
"One thing, though, is that not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"Being more cost effective. I went with a pair of Watchguard M300 recently when buying a new firewall cluster for our own use because it was way cheaper than NetASQ/Stormshield N700 while being faster, and it offers true multi-master firewall clustering if needed."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"The product must improve its pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricey."
"It is not that costly."
"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."
"The pricing could be better."
"I think the price is good."
"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."
"The SN200 series costs between $500 USD and $600 USD per year, whereas the SN700 series costs approximately $1,000 annually."
"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."
