"The go to for business firewall "
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

An industry standard that has a wealth of resources online to do what you want to do. Responses are fast when you want a category change for a website. Like others say, it is an all-in-one solution, so no need to buy multiple devices.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

Performance is not always the best. Not very intuitive to configure and set up. Management isn't the easiest. Very overpriced for the performance it gives. Very frustrating to work with in smaller businesses as the performance is extremely sub-par. Annual fees are ridiculous for small businesses as well.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security is much better, especially in terms of users browsing websites. Keeps employees more focused because there are less distractions. You can filter website access

Very easy to use, intuitive setup for blocking specific websites, words, phrases, themes, categories, etc.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

The categories update periodically so we have to go through and allow specific websites that were blocked because of the updates or mistaken categorization.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software has been instrumental in blocking social media from our internal network, reducing strain on bandwidth and our antivirus software.

I didn't like the fact that at a certain point when the configuration became complex, Sonicwall's software was not very intuitive and made it very difficult to work with.

When we first got the product it was great, but once we got into vlan settings and other things like that is became a burden so we switched away to another vendor.

"great for educational settings"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

we used sonic wall in a k12 environment. the ease of deployment was great to get up and running fast

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

At the time we implemented, we went with a hardware solution. a hosted or cloud solution would have been a better more efficient way to do it

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

we previously used filtering rules to block searches and traffic but SonicWall took that upon itself. we were also able to consolidate hardware into one solution

"A respectable budget-friendly security/firewall solution"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

The SonicWall is a great "all in one" package. It offers robust content filtering, firewall features, security monitoring, virus/spyware blocking, and lots more.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

Since this is an "All in one" solution, it doesn't have the same granular controls over specific areas compared to dedicated products.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping our network safe and secure. SonicWall has allowed us to do this at a cost we can afford.

"Nice web interface "
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

Ease of use of the software. Makes it very simple to get through and fix. These provide a firewall for our stores and assist in PCI certification. Very happy with the web interface.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

The actual hardware. We have had several go bad after a year. They take a long time to replace. The ports seem to go bad first. They do not like change at all. It is an odd thing to me.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows us to protect our the PCI integrity of our retail locations.

"Nothing fancy, doesn't need to be"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

It's easy to set up--I can walk an employee through it over the phone--and it does what it needs to.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

It's pretty bare bones, and I would love a little more insight from the back end.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a small number of employees that work remotely on occasion, and this allowed them access to our servers at a low cost. And it works with our firewalls.

"Sonic Wall Review"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

SonicWall is great when it comes to accessing a VPN to connect to a work Intranet. I need to have access to certian share drives located on a work server while at home and this has been a lifesaver. The SonicWall mobile app is great at automatically logging me into the network to be able to be on the VPN and access my files at any location.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

One thing I really dislike about SonicWall is that once you access the VPN on a mobile device, the connection will automatically time out after 10minutes. I don't really mind having to log back in because once I open the app I am automatically logged in but the fact that I need to stop what I am doing and go back to the app is very irritating.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

I currently use SonicWall to connect to my work VPN while away from the office. It has been a lifesaver when I am meeting with a client at a remote location and need to pull up a document located on a share drive at work.

"Sonicwall is easy to use and to configure"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

Sonicwall is easy to configure and comes with a HA version that works like a charm. The Sonicpoints integrate easily into the Sonicwall and provides a good solution to wireless access. The global vpn client is a two factor way of logging into the Sonicpoints or remotely.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

I dislike the support when they first came out. Since Dell bought them, support is way better.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adding another layer to security.

"Not a bad unit but could be better"
What do you like best about SonicWall VPN Clients?

It does have a really good range of configurable options and there is a wide range of models to suit various markets. The larger units are certainly something that you could use in a large data centre.

What do you dislike about SonicWall VPN Clients?

The web interface is very dated, only one admin can be logged in at a time ( 6th gen and below) . The web content filtering is not granular enough for education customers. Application control is also an on or off setting you cannot have different settings for different groups.

What problems is SonicWall VPN Clients solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a general firewall/router, it is OK, but I found it was unable to handle large volumes of deep packet inspection, which is required in most schools nowadays.
