Wow disappointing!!

  • Review provided by G2

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.

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

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.

Some features require a paid license, so not everything is fully available at the time of purchase. However, most of the functionalities are present.
