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

"This solution works well, and their switches and firewall are good."
"In general, the entire security solution is great, from end to end."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"Juniper vSRX is very scalable and easy to use."
"The solution has good features."
"The technical support services are excellent."

"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"A very robust product."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard, which helps you manage different aspects of a single page. The intrusion detection system helps our organization by automatically detecting and responding to potential threats. It operates similarly to Darktrace, which detects and responds automatically based on the security rules you apply. Initially, you configure everything to block, and then you can whitelist specific items as needed."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The GUI interface needs improvement. It also needs improvement with the VPCs."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."

"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."

"The solution is pricey."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"It is not that costly."

"The solution could have been cheaper."
"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."

"The pricing could be better."
"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."
"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."
