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

"I have been using the solution for more than ten years."
"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."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls function with high performance."
"Juniper vSRX is very scalable and easy to use."
"The initial setup was very straightforward; there was no problem and the initial deployment took about one hour."
"This solution works well, and their switches and firewall are good."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Customer service is very good, because of their presales support helping me with initial setup I decided to go with NetASQ in the first place, and support after the sale has been equally good as well."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"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 performance of this solution is good."
"The multi-layered security approach of Stormshield Network Security is a good one and has helped with compliance."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Technical support is very bad. They never respond to any ticket you open, although we pay for the support."
"The GUI is really bad."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"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."
"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."
"The SRX is a different device. It is much more sensitive to unexpected power loss so we had to RMA several after unexpected site power outages."
"When we started with vSRX we came over from NetScreen. With vSRX we had a lot of problems and management was very hard to work with."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The pricing of this solution needs to be decreased."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"The stability is not that good based on my experience. We have a lot of disruptions when it comes to Stormshield."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"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."
"I don’t recommend this product at all."
"The pricing is increasing, and I would say it is a bit expensive."
"The technical support for this solution in Poland is not good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."

"The solution could have been cheaper."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."

"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."
"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
