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

"Juniper vSRX is very scalable and easy to use."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people, and they can use their mobile phones and everything to get authenticated."
"I've been using this solution for around 11 years."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"This solution works well, and their switches and firewall are good."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"Easy to maintain. Easy to use. Easy to set up. It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The support is excellent."
"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."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"A very robust product."
"The multi-layered security approach of Stormshield Network Security is a good one and has helped with compliance."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"The performance of this solution is good."
 

Cons

"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"The GUI needs to be faster."
"I would suggest improving the pricing, particularly the licensing model."
"I don’t recommend this product at all."
"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."
"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."
"Being more cost effective. I went with a pair of Watchguard M300 recently when buying a new firewall cluster for our own use because it was way cheaper than NetASQ/Stormshield N700 while being faster, and it offers true multi-master firewall clustering if needed."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"Improvement is also needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer, they're not very responsive when it comes to technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is inexpensive."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"The solution is pricey."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."
"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."
"I think the price is good."
"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."
"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
"The pricing could be better."
"The SN200 series costs between $500 USD and $600 USD per year, whereas the SN700 series costs approximately $1,000 annually."
