It's reliable! Sonicwall UTM
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely, any one is looking for UTM with full function within their budget, I guess that's the device for you.
SonicWall hasn't been the same since Dell bought them
What do you like best about the product?
SonicWall device performs well to distribute our network load for our office over 2 upstream providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
SonicWall used to be lean and mean - since being purchased by Dell it hasn't seem to be moving as quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Given that most websites are moving to HTTPS, the content protection afforded by the SonicWall is mostly useless unless you turn on DPI-SSL -- and that brings with it other issues (cpu load, deploying the local RootCA, etc)
SonicWall Firewalls
What do you like best about the product?
This has been an easy system to maintain and support
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate that we need a product like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Limit access into our network.
Another approach that allows us to multiply how we prevent security threats
What do you like best about the product?
The features of SonicWall in the TZ and NSA family include SonicWall's Cloud-based Advanced Threat Protection with different engines. The results are satisfactory in our organization as we manage more than 350 locations that require us to be vigilant against attacks and ensure business continuity. With ATP, we have saved time and human resources as their cloud platform facilitates the prevention of zero-day threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the ATP solution, an additional license is needed, and this raises the cost if you only consider acquiring the comprehensive licensing. Additionally, if there is no channel that provides 24/7 support services, you have to do it directly with the brand by raising an RMA.
On the other hand, regarding reports, I don't like that you have to buy the GMS solution because with the control panels that the box already has, it is not very helpful since you don't have full visibility of what is happening in my network. The GMS solution involves additional licenses that can be On-premise - In the Cloud - on local servers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We protected ourselves from various Ransomware and Petia that could have affected the organization's operation, as well as being more productive in support matters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a portfolio of specialized solutions such as Email Security-Capture Client.
A respectable budget-friendly security/firewall solution
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SonicWall is a great product for those in small businesses or small education environments.
Trusted Network Security

Sonicwall devices have good performance and their operation is very stable.
What do you like best about the product?
From Sonicwall, I like the performance of their devices, the data provided by their GMS Analyzer reporting system is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little that I don't like about Sonicwall. The handling of the Digital Certificate for the DPI-SSL filter is good, but sometimes some problems arise that require time to solve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Companies have many problems with filtering navigation through the HTTPS protocol, as most pages now work with this protocol, and Sonicwall's handling of this issue meets the needs very well.
Many applications help users navigate in an encrypted manner, bypassing the security filter, so handling through Sonicwall applications is very good, as these applications are simply blocked and everything works well.
The integration with Active Directory is also very good, as user detection through LDAP, with the SSO feature activated, makes the user experience as seamless as possible.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have had experiences with Sophos, Palo Alto, Fortigate, and some other devices, and I have found that Sonicwall is very versatile and intuitive in handling, in addition to its optimal performance and rule execution.
When it comes to creating and applying rules, it is very agile and I have not encountered any problems.
