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.

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.

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

sonicwalls provide a solid firewall for medium and small business. they are cost effective and easy to deploy.

lack of some enterprise features found in other vendors

protecting the network edge from virus and security breach .

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

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

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

The sonicwall security product are very good solution for the enterprise security protection. The sonicwall portfolio is composed by a wide range of devices and appliance: firewalls, SSL VPN, etc. The firewalls are very strong solutions and have the rigth ratio cost/quality ratio.

I think that sonicwall solution are best used for SMB company. The miss some very specialized functionality (like i.e. LACP trunk etc)

We use sonicwall to protect company boundaries and datacenter from hackers attacks

I liked that the product is easy to configure for basic setups. It was easy to adjust on the fly and you really didn't have to worry about messing anything up.

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.

Ease of use, plenty of features and support options.

Nothing I can think of right now, I have always had good experience with Sonicwall.

Firewall, blocking malware, websites, etc.

Liked the VPN, the Content Filtering. The Anti-Malware feature is great.

I wish the logging feature of this firewall was bit more robust.
