We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has improved our security capabilities."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"It is very flexible to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"The technical support has been good."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"A very robust product."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"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."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"It needs more available central management."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"The reports are very basic."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"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."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"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."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
