Product management overall
What do you like best about the product?
advanced threat protection capabilities, including real-time threat intelligence, sandboxing, and deep packet inspection. These features help organizations detect and mitigate advanced cyber threats, such as zero-day attacks and ransomware, before they can cause harm.
What do you dislike about the product?
As above recommendation I am totaly disagree. These features not help me to detect and mitigate advanced cyber threats zero-day attacks and ransomware, and it cause harm.
Reasons so far as per my knowledge that time:
Enabling certain security features or deploying SonicWall devices in certain configurations may impact network performance or introduce latency, particularly in high-traffic environments.
Organizations should carefully evaluate performance requirements and consider hardware specifications accordingly.
I am not sure is it right findings but I got harmed fully impacted by ransomware.

Provides effective threat prevention and helps improve security
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product helps improve our security. We use SonicWall NSv on Azure. It’s a basic firewall. It's similar to all the other firewalls. The tool provides effective threat prevention. It simplifies our security operations. There is no direct connectivity to the VMs. We have everything on the host machine. There, we have the internal switches. So, the network layer has more security.
What needs improvement?
We face some challenges when we upgrade the solution. If I use NSv 400, I can't upgrade to the next generation. We cannot upgrade the VM to the next generation. We have to rebuild a new VM and copy the configurations. We cannot upgrade straightaway. The solution must allow us to upgrade the same machine to a newer version without many changes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for more than ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Since we have enabled the product in a fresh environment, there is no downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product’s scalability is good. We can upgrade easily.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team is very good. We can contact the team by phone or email.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment is straightforward. We get the image and deploy it in Azure. The configuration takes a day.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is moderately priced. We need to purchase an additional license for NSM. We can manage all the firewalls through NSM. Otherwise, we would have to connect each location manually to manage the devices. With NSM, we can connect and manage all the firewalls globally. We can push the policies across all the firewalls in one go.
What other advice do I have?
We use SonicWall’s Content Filtering, Gateway, and IPS security tools. Most solutions have similar features. When we deployed the tool in our organization, it had all the technical functionality we needed. It is still relevant and fits our requirements. Currently, we are on Azure. Before, we had an on-premises setup. We were using VMware for our on-premises setup. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Product not working in AWS
Can not access console after deployment. Can not SSH as well. Can ping after enabling ICMP in firewall. Try to login using serial console, but credentials are not working. Crazy !!!
