SonicWall VPN Clients Reviews & Product Details

User interface and other features i like the most.

Nothing i dislike about sonic wall however support can be improved

we have used sonic wall for solving network issues and other network related problems.

The best thing is that it is all in one. SonicWall can do from firewall to content filtering to VPN and more. That is the best thing about it. The device itself does a lot. Most of the time it works great.

The interface and the configuration is not easy to use. I hope I can see more user friendly and easy to configure update soon. Some time when yo do change on your network, yo will need to reboot sonicwall in order to continue working.

combined multiple devices in one. I used to have firewall, content filtering and routers devices. This replaced all of them.

Offers a variety of options, ability to filter content and integrate that with Powershell to provide filters by user type are excellent.

Can be a bit clunky at times. We've had some issues with tunneling randomly going down.

Security & Content filtering

Easy to understand basic settings for firewall beginners, Cloud storage feature for users is most useful.........

Tech support is not supportive on time, and the firewall does not have such advanced features as compared to industry-leading solutions i.e Fortigate, Sophos, PA

local user authentication, cloud storage for users, quick deployment, and upgrades also.

An incredibly powerful firewall with proactive threat protection. Supports the creation of multiple and isolated vlans. Has built in VPN capabilities, with a dedicated vpn client for Windows and the capability to enable an L2TP server for use on other systems. There are multiple hardware tiers for businesses of all sizes. With a subscription, threat protection rules and firmware are kept up-to-date. Support is quite good (and very necessary).

Doing any setup outside of the provided wizards is extremely difficult. Things such as port forwarding requires multiple steps adding and changing settings in 3 different locations. While both threat protection and support are great, they require an activation subscription with Sonicwall that can be quite pricey.

Used as the primary firewall/router, DHCP Server, VPN Server and vlan manager. It’s powerful features allow for creating a large, flexible and secure network.

SonicWall TZ 215 is fairly plug-n-play. Gives you the warm and fuzzies that your network is protected. Once in awhile I get an email that I think means everything is OK. We're a small shop, I'm paying network admin among other roles, and so plug-n-play is valuable. Um, what else. For the most part, I don't worry much about it, which is also a good thing.

Setup of this device - beyond out of the box fairly vanilla configuration - is not for the faint of heart. I would not recommend it to someone who didn't have the experience, time, and proclivity to wade around in the weeds of a cloodgy UI, a configuration model that, as far as I can tell, is unique to SonicWall, and status/monitoring/logging that somehow manages to be both saturating and devoid of much useful information. Perhaps someone who has more experience with SonicWall products, or network/security/admin in general, would have more success than I have had configuring the device for more sophisticated usage.

Our business has regulator compliance and auditing requirements that

My favorite part of the installation process thus far has been backing up my previous version's settings The embedded web server configuration feature is well organized and thought-out and always available. Configuration is straight forward and easy to setup. would surely recommend it to small & medium businesses that require security features and VPN links

they lock up, reboot, and log users out under even very light load. The big problem is that SonicWALL technical support is not just terrible, it is effectively non-existent.

Running public servers behind sonicwall firewall. Running VPN. monitoring bandwidth

When properly configured it does its job, until it doesn't

UI is not friendly, simple things like NAT or port forwarding are overly complicated to set up

Honestly, Sonicwall is not a product we use by choice, normally it is the relic of a client's former MSP. It does secure a client's network, and while it is robust it is not user friendly

The general federation of SonicWALL appliances and the way they've set their website is generally done well. The usual broken links between products are dismissable given the concept is there.

Downside of using SonicWall is the support.

General firewall protection, end-point protection, and antiphishing.

The product is considered among best of breed for high end security appliances

Security is only as good as your ability to implement it. Despite my experience with configuration of many other routers, switches, modems etc, I found it extremely hard to get the port configurations working as desired due to their unwieldy and unique user interface. I brought in networking experts, and still could not get configuration working as I wanted. I could not find SonicWall certified technicians in my area. What\s the use of security appliance if the user can't control it easily?

Enterprise network security

Sonicwall VPN makes it easy to access your VPN remote from any location in the world.

I don't like the settings we have on our Sonicwall access (it stops my MacBook Air from being able to browse the internet & access our VPN).

Connectivity to our databases & private network remote.

Very easy to use and very user-friendly. No need for command cli, just a graphical user interface.
