We performed a comparison between Stormshield Network Security and Zscaler Cloud Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good 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."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"It is a stable solution."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"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 would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
