We hope this will protect us from the ever changing malware, viruses, and ransomware
I dislike that it takes a bad event before realizing your system needs this
We are preventing attackers from penetrating our system
Easy, no problems. We use this to connect remotely to our VPN server. Never hav any issues.
It’s so benign that there’s really nothing to dislike!
Makes remote access convenient and secure for our employees
I like how, for the most part, how user-friendly it is. As long as you have the correct server info, domain and credentials you're good to go. It's also pretty easy to troubleshoot on the admin side. In most cases logging into the admin console to correct permissions, credentials and other settings only takes a few minutes.
There are a few quirks with it, meaning, when you receive an error due to invalid credentials, domain or server info, it will cycle through for about 5 minutes or more at which point, you'll have to wait for it to time out or end the process through task manager. Also, if your internet connection is weak, expect frequent disconnects.
It allows me to work remotely anywhere in the world and access everything I need within my company's network.
Ease of creating NAT policies, access rules, and configuring content filters.
Limited reporting through SonicWALL Analyzer.
Content Filtering to block inappropriate websites.
Is powerfull, incredibly easy to use, very well designed and well thinked
Open a port have more steps than i supouse
Security, confidentiality and go back to relax
One of the best thing is like the most about the sonicwall is. it isprovide the security over the internet as well as traditional environment.
There is nothing for sonicwall is to dislike as par my experience it is provide all the services which I need to use .anyone can easy to implement.there are lots of customer support if you have any problem.there are lots of company are using sonicwall so the frequency is lot.lots of features are provided by the sonicwall to the user.you can easily integrate the sonicwall in your environment
Sonicwall is solving the security issue over cloud and also in traditional environment.
It's a very flexible, easy to configure, robust firewall for a great price.
Tech support could be better. In my experience, support engineers are hard to understand and don't seem to be all that helpful.
I am using 4 (HA) firewalls to secure my network as well as provide SSLVPN and site to site connections.
First of all it is very helpful to enable the organisations to access any application from anywhere and anytime. It is very cost effective and easy to install. It protects against cyber attacks.
Sometimes works slow during launching. Well we hardly see any issues in its working.
It has solved problem during pandemic time as it facilitates remote access of applications with full fledged cyber security and leads to better productivity. Really its a boon for us
The SonicWall Dashboard from version v7.0 is easy to Manage and add the policies. Unlike others vendor firewalls, the SonicWall firewall has multiple ports already built-in. We can set up both Site to Site and SSL VPN in less time with the newly upgraded GUI. In Sonicwall, multiple preconfigured security profiles protect the network when it deploys.
There is much difference in the CLI command statements from version old version and new version i.e v7.5. Sonicwall need to be improve their customer support.
We use the Sonicwall device as the first defense firewall in our network, as HA mode. With the help of SonicWall's VPN feature, our users can access the servers on corporate LAN without any troubles. The Load balencing of the internet links is excellent, and we are able to use two ISP links at a time. Intrusion prevention and Detection profiles are working very well.
Threat Blocking, Virus database regular update, User-friendly GUI, Easy to use
Log reports need to be more user friendly
I am not facing any such problems.
In our organization, we are using Sonicwall NSv 870 (Network Security virtual appliance), it has a very attractive management dashboard and direct options for configuring the network interface IP address, network & service objects, and security policies. When comes to security performance, SonicWall works very well, by allowing us to configure a policy with source MAC and Source user which is very helpful for restricting internet access to particular machines and users. When comes to the monitoring part, it has very good filtering options to monitor required traffic.
The main thing only I can dislike is the cloud features. SonicWall net generation firewalls have fewer cloud features.
1.Blocking internet access for unwanted users. 2.Restricting users from visiting malicious sites. 3. Accessing internal servers securely using SSL-VPN through NetExtender.
Sonic wall firewalls are the high performance firewall in current market.It prevent the threats.It protects our network from inside and outside threats.
It is expensive and Complicated to configure.
We are continuously monitoring and preventing unauthorized access using sonic wall firewall.It blocks the viruses.We are monitoring internet usage of our internal employee's computers.It creates reports of blocked threats.
Every organization need the firewall to protect there network.Sonic wall firewall is best option for that.It having great features that helps us to protect our network.
It is difficult to install the firewall.If you have aware about the all things then no issue.
We are using sonic wall firewall to protect our network.We are able to check who is accessing our network.We are monitoring activities which is going on networks.It create threat reports.Threat reports contains activity of firewall means which viruses are blocked by firewall.
It provide high security to our network.It saves our network from outside attacks.It blocks the attack and create a report for the same.
Required qualified person to handle the firewall.Some configuration is hard to understand.
We are using sonic wall firewall to protect our network from attacks.It continuous scanning the network and if firewall found any unwanted then firewall block that things.It also create report of blocked things which is very useful.
Sonicwall is a great all in one tool that allows use of content filtering to whitelisting and many other features.
It can take some time getting used to but it is a great tool overall.
Security
Overall, I like most of the feature of Sonicwall, but here, I would like to mentioned about one the feature from the bundle, and which is IPS. Off course, when IPS is enabled performance may goes down due to multitasking, and consumption of other resource, still it's gives best performance. When IPS is enabled, we can evade number of illegal traffic towards our network. And Sonicwall has great database of IPS signature with perfect classification.
Well, there are couple of things that can be improved, such as when GUI is being access is very slow, rules managing, log monitoring is not available on the device where you need separate device/cloud service to store the data. One more thing, which is when you integrate AD with device, you can not create custom group as it use from AD server.
After the deployment of product, we noticed that many issues was resolved and it's being. Firstly, performance is excellent. when we check the load on device with full function, it was great deal. We did stop many illegal/illegitimate to and from traffic. We believe that it's more stable then the expectation. Off course, remote users are getting no issues while connecting to infra and while accessing through this device.
Las caracteristicas de SonicWall en la familia TZ y NSA cuentas con Advanced Threat Protection de SonicWall basado en la Nube con diferentes motores, los resultados son satisfactorios en nuestra organización administramos mas de 350 ubicaciones que nos demandan estar al pendiente de los ataques y dar continuidad de negocio con el ATP hemos ahorrado tiempo recurso humano en que su plataforma en la nube nos facilite la prevención de amenazas que son día cero
Para la solución de ATP se necesita una licencias adicional y esto eleva el costo si solo se considera adquirir el licenciamiento comprehensive, adicional que si no se tiene un canal que de soporte el servicios 24/7 lo haces directo con la mara levantando un RMA Por otro lado en temas de reportes no me agrada que se tenga que comprar la solución de GMS ya que con los paneles de control que ya cuenta la caja no es de mucha a ayuda ya que no se tiene toda la visualización de lo que esta pasando en mi red, La solución de GMS son licencias adicionales que pueden ser Ompremise - En la Nube - en servidores locales
Nos protegimos de varios Ramsomware y Petia que pudieron afectar la operación de la organización asi como ser mas productivos en temas de soporte
As I have to work remotely from home, its really convenient to connect to the office network through sonic wall. It is secure to even use if i an travelling out of country.
It needs a very good internet connection to work efficiently.
Being a developer i can access the code base by connecting to office network using sonic wall conveniently from any location without worrying about the security issues.
SonicWall combines several appliances in one. Instead of having separate Web Filters, IPS/IDS Units, Gateway Avitvirus/AntiSpyware, Application Filter and Router we are able to use a single Sonicwall Device. Add in central Wireless Access Point Management and on device packet capturing and I don't know why anyone would use anything else. SonicWall also includes features like Site to Site VPN tunnels, Tunnel Interfaces, User VPN capabilities through a deployable client, or SSLVPN.
The additional software require to run reports needs a major overhaul and still requires Java for somethings.
We are able to provide rock solid routing and security services, along with backup VPN services using SonicWall.
I use principally sonicwall firewall appliance, i like the simple installation of this product, it' s easer than other firewall. With the GUI interface i can set all of the configuration. the deep packet inspection function is very useful, I can control all traffic passing from network interfaces
I had some compatibility issues with the truck of a core switch cisco. lacp active mode has not been fully supported. I solved it by changing the mode lacp active in lacp passive.I solved it by changing the mode lacp active in lacp passive. probably this problem was solved with the upgrade to the latest firmware version 6.x
many times I have to manage these firewalls.It was always helped by technical support "DELL". Their help was useful to solve my problem. for example I had to configure a new system into high havaibility.
