easy to deploy and manage

What do you like best about the product?
In our organization, we are using Sonicwall NSv 870 (Network Security virtual appliance), it has a very attractive management dashboard and direct options for configuring the network interface IP address, network & service objects, and security policies.
When comes to security performance, SonicWall works very well, by allowing us to configure a policy with source MAC and Source user which is very helpful for restricting internet access to particular machines and users.
When comes to the monitoring part, it has very good filtering options to monitor required traffic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing only I can dislike is the cloud features. SonicWall net generation firewalls have fewer cloud features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1.Blocking internet access for unwanted users.
2.Restricting users from visiting malicious sites.
3. Accessing internal servers securely using SSL-VPN through NetExtender.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
we are using SonicWall next-generation firewall for 2 years, it performs very well. recommended for others too.

Wow disappointing!!

What do you like best about the product?
The general federation of SonicWALL appliances and the way they've set their website is generally done well. The usual broken links between products are dismissable given the concept is there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Downside of using SonicWall is the support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General firewall protection, end-point protection, and antiphishing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Support is sold as a 1-year / 2-year add-on feature to hardware. Live telephone support is aggressively rude, condescending and will literally scold you and hang up on you if they don't like what you're saying. Worst customer service ever encountered on any product or service. The recommendation is to avoid purchasing support - it's a waste of money.

great for educational settings

What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's perfect if you need to share management with non admins, since it is easy to use. installation is vete if you have them on the line since they can answer questions as they come

Sonicwall Review

  • July 28, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the user-friendly gui interface to sonicwall.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like it doesn't have most features that cisco has, but it still covers a lot with additional plugins you can buy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has a pretty good basic DDoS protection to the router itself. Also the VPN Site-To-Site is very reliable when both sonicwall talks to each other. Also its very affordable compare to buying a cisco router.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a business grade firewall that is super reliable and has all the features you need for a small to medium business. This is the best one. It's affordable as well and very easy to use.

Un valido firewall per piccole e medie imprese

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
E' un prodotto che abbiamo acquistato per test per un POC e si è rivelato poco costoso, abbastanza completo e oltretutto molto stabile nel funzionamento. Il test è durato alcuni mesi ed è stato utilizzato con varie vpn e per analisi e filtraggio del traffico.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alcune funzioni richiedono una licenza a pagamento, quindi non è tutto totalmente disponibile in fase di acquisto. E' presente però ma laggior parte delle funzionalità.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
E' stato valutato come un potenziale prodotto valido come alternative ad altri prodotti CISCO ASA e FORTINET.
