Secure, Cost effective as per business need
That's really tough for me to answer, i don't think so !!
SSL decryption and inspection. Automated anti-virus enforcement.
Safe Secure and Cost effective as per business need with a very good threat intelligence data base
It's user interface can be more improvised
This is very useful for IO security and access management.
1) it protects enterprise data and network from hacking or phishing. 2) cost effective solution compared to others. 3) it's network failure and load balancing feature reduces link downtime and helps to utilise internet links fully. 4) we can manage web access or bandwidth for user easily. 5) easy to understand, navigate and configure.
I don't see any point to dislike sonicwall
1) it helped us to manage web access for user at device level. 2) reliable and secured firewall. 3) it provides advanced threat protection. 4) it's load balancing ensures maximum utilisation of the internet lines. 5) we able to manage all firewall centrally from one interface.
The appliance was easy to install. It offers a lot of options to configure the appliance according to your exact need. It's also very easy to upgrade and their technical support is awesome. We had questions when we installed the appliance and contacted their support. They not only answered our question but went further and give us good configuration tips on our existing installation. They also followed up days later to see if the configuration they help us to apply was meeting our needs. We are very satisfied.
We had to update the device when we received it. We would have expected it to be up to date right away. We also think that they can improve in auto documenting their interface to help configuration. Their technical support also reverted back to the old interface when they helped us configured the device. It prooved that they can improve documentation and overall interface or classification of the device features.
We replace our existing equipement that was not longer supported. We need a solution that would cover the same need at a price that still meet our budget. Sonic wall not only have a great product but their price is competitive.
The addition modules that you can purchase to make life easier. Plus you can add just what you need unlike other firewall companies that force you to purchase packages. Sonicwall makes it easy as you only buy what you need
The only dislike i have is the cost of maintenance on the device for keeping it updated.
We are using the sonicwall for 2 p2p VPN tunnels for remote sites and VPN access for end users to log in to the system and not have it RDP open to the outside world
I like that fact that in the 5 years I've had 8 NSA 2600's and 2 NSA 5600's I've not have one hardware failure or issue. I've updated firmware for stand-a-lone's and HA pairs and I've not had issues with the Firewalls.
I wish there could be better training but lets face it, there are a lot of products that could use this. Training at a better price and training that move at a pace for people that want to get stuff done.
We are doing Site-to-site VPN tunnels between all of our locations. We are doing Bandwidth management for specific traffics using SonicWALL's built in product/traffic/protocols based
Sonicwalls are easy to deploy and configure. The UI makes navigation straight-forward. Setting up content filtering and SSLVPN connections are easy as well.
The Dell-branded 5.9 firmware is too "heavy" for the lower-end TZ models. We saw significant performance issues when the firmware was uploaded to them.
Businesses needing a solid firewall solution to protect their network benefitted greatly from implementing a SonicWALL. The cost of the hardware and licensing for what you get is a good fit in the small business arena.
Sonicwall Firewall comes with reatively medium in cost it is userfriendly to configure. It provides best UTM security to the organisation.
When device connected to the Site to Site VPN device went in idle state muiltple times.
Sonicwall Firewall can place in branch level to filter all the incoming and outgoing traffic wiht very midium cost.
