Hillstone E-Series Reviews

I have been using Hillstone E-Series within the past 12 months.

We have been satisfied with the technical support for small and medium scale clients but we have not seen the support quality for the needs of enterprise organizations.

The installation is easy, we have not had any complaints from our customers.

The licensing model is very complex with many subcategories of licenses you can purchase. They could make it more simplified for customers to understand.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Palo Alto and Check Point.

I rate Hillstone E-Series a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is general remote working and VPN setup. We're not using the VPN tunnels for any service, so it is just purely and utterly for remote working.

Working with the Hillstone E-Series has, from a remote perspective, allowed me to give my clients secure connectivity from a remote location to their offices or their servers. It’s a security system that has helped quite a bit.

The Hillstone E-Series currently offers everything I need. 

I am not sure if this solution offers active directory integration. Adding that feature will definitely be an advantage. Adding support to the interface will also help. If they can have reporting built into the solution, one can actually integrate into a call-center system.

This solution is very stable and I've had no issues with it. 

I haven't looked at the scalability of this solution because I've only used it for one function. I will soon be looking at the other features it offers but I believe the Hillstone E-Series will allow me a lot of different changes that I can make to the solution. I do plan to increase my usage. It looks very scalable. I'm fairly sure it will allow me quite a lot of different changes that I can make to the solution. I plan to increase usage. We've been implementing the system and so forth, and I've not really compared it price-wise to anything else out there. 

The technical support was fairly straightforward. 

The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward and I didn't experience any problems. It took me about 20 minutes to install and implement.

I installed it myself.

So far we've only been implementing the system and I haven't really compared this solution to other options out there. We have used many different VPNs before. There are many free VPN solutions available as well as paid-for VPN solutions. Price-wise it will probably compete in the middle range to entry-level range. There is justification on what a product can do, as long as the product stays stable, people don't mind actually paying for the product.

I did evaluate other options but in the end, the Hillstone E-Series offered what I was looking for.

Adding better integration to this solution will be beneficial. I will rate this solution a seven or eight out of ten.
