"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution.""A very robust product.""This solution is quick and easy to configure.""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 most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price.""I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks.""Easily manageable in a variety of environments.""It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."

Cons
"Network visibility is an area in the solution with shortcomings where improvements can be made.""The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option.""The product needs to improve its pricing.""The solution could be cheaper.""There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary.""Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect""The VPN is an area that can be improved.""There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."

"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me.""Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month.""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.""Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer.""The product must improve its pricing.""Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
