SonicWall VPN Clients Reviews & Product Details

Sonicwall is an extremely easy to use firewall. The settings are easy to configure even though initial setup may be challenging for your specific environment. Monthly maintenance and addition of settings is a breeze

Initial configuration but that is expected.

Sonicwall keeps us protected. We are very satisfied with our 2600, 2400, SMA400, SRA1600 and TZ500's

I love the Sonicwall Global VPN client and how it integrates with the sonicwall. Love the content filtering and sonicwall support is always helpful.

My only dislike is when uploading and booting to new firmware glitches out as there is no way to repair that remotely.

VPN tunnels are a breeze with the sonicwalls, as well as adding an extra layer of antivirus.

Specifically i like the Firewall - you have the freedom to customize it based on your network. Second thing is i liked how easy it is to configure the content filtering services

What i dislike is the Capture ATP sometimes it will stop sending files to back end for scanning

You never realized how many it is that is trying to initiate connection to your internal network. With the GAV Security services this solves/eliminates threats going in to my network

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

An independent company, with powerful solution.

I think that some time they can improve the report part to show how good are they working

Security firewall in the branch office, with all the security features of an UTM firewall

The fact it gives access to remote users on all their devices including iPads!

you Must uninstall it on the user account that installed it. Not always ideal if you give users local admin rights and then they leave or the profile corrupts!

The problems was users needed access to our network from a remote location and on their iPads. This means our sales managers can use this while out on site, and visiting customers.

Once you get the hang of the setup interface it's a breeze to setup and configure.

It takes some time to learn the UI, but there are plenty of guides and instructions out there to help you out.

Sonic wall has A LOT of options and security features that gives you utter control of your network in so many ways. It is impossible to say that "you do not have control" of your network when you have a sonicwall. One of my favorite features is the ease of use for the content filter. The content filter comes with different filter options which you can activate during special times/days and pinpoint who and what device can do what and they've made that fairly easy with sonicwall. Many of the other options are somewhat straight forward and offer deep customization options but sonicwall is not an easy plug and play device and will require some experience.

Port forwarding on a sonicwall is almost an absolute nightmare. Many times it will throw you in a maze like scenario, searching for the correct options to implement into your network. Sonicwall definitely needs a better user interface as the interface that is currently created is in my opinion mediocre.

Preventing unauthorized network access and prevention of identity theft since credit cards are being ran through broadband network.

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.

I have used sonic wall several times for small and large firewall needs. Setup was pretty straight forward and can go up quickly. Also the reporting ad tracking features of attacks and traffic is great. Also VPNs work best on sonic walls than other brands hive tried like watch guard etc.

Sonicwall's #1 strength is the interface. A tech can quickly accomplish what they need without running command lines and knowing another language. That being said, they focus on security just as much.

I have not been a fan of the GUI changes that have been pretty stark and consistent over the last few years. It does not seem that Sonicwall knows what i wants to stick with in terms of the presentation.

Sonicwall allows IT personnel to straddle that line between convenience and security. What takes me 5 minutes in a Sonicwall device has taken me 1-2 hours in a competitor firewall.
