ᐅ Advantages and Disadvantages: External Venetian Blinds or Roller Shutters?

Hello!
We are considering whether to choose Venetian blinds or roller shutters.
Originally, I preferred roller shutters because they seem to offer better burglary protection. However, an architect advised us against this, saying that roller shutters can also be easily broken into. He believes that with almost the same level of burglary protection, Venetian blinds are much more comfortable and provide greater flexibility.
So far, we have only had roller shutters or interior blinds, so we lack direct comparisons.
Do you also think that roller shutters are not significantly "safer" than Venetian blinds?
Can you think of other pros and cons?

Why not talk to your window supplier (or whoever sells and installs your external blinds) about wanting automatic control? The system is from Warema, just like the external blinds.
We never compared prices between traditional and automated systems because for us traditional was never an option. Of course, we will do that... but sometimes it's helpful to have an idea in advance of the costs, so you know how the money side of things works.

Well, I already mentioned this earlier.
You have great options for operating the roller shutters, but if you only want to use switches, you simply overlook them: ... I also think the options are great, but I don’t have time for all the programming... It’s too complicated for me at the moment. I already spend a full week at work dealing with IT. Still, when I retire someday, I’ll fully dedicate myself to this topic. Until then, my priorities lie elsewhere, mainly in securing the house with cameras and access control systems. Automatic shading, temperature control, pump management, and so on will come later. However, our Warema roller shutters have so far withstood every wind and weather condition without any issues.
