Provides strong security with potential for detailed reporting improvements
Reviewed on May 19, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Within our organization's cloud security setup, SonicWall NSv is used repeatedly, and they are not encountering many challenges to deploy it.
It is used for security, specifically as a firewall.
What is most valuable?
The features of SonicWall NSv that are most effective in enhancing the network include the Application Firewall, which provides enhanced security to the client.
SonicWall NSv handles network threats effectively, and I have noticed improvements with new advanced features such as sandboxing; we are very impressed with it.
The sandboxing feature is very interesting, and we are looking forward to developments in AI-driven security initiatives.
What needs improvement?
Currently, we are getting challenges with user-wise reports and other reporting details. At present, they do not provide detailed reports compared to other products.
For how long have I used the solution?
My overall experience with SonicWall NSv has been since 2008 or 2009.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
It takes no more than a few hours to deploy, as we have local support here, so we do not have to log any cases for other challenges.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have a very confident feeling about its stability.
It rates around eight to nine in terms of stability, and it is quite good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I do not need much support in SonicWall NSv for scalability.
It is a scalable product.
On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate its scalability as eight to nine.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate the responsiveness of the technical support from SonicWall as 9 to 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What about the implementation team?
There are two support engineers involved in the installation as of now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am somewhat satisfied with the price for SonicWall NSv, rating it as eight because, compared to other products, the price is a little bit higher.
The pricing could be improved, and there are extra expenses. For instance, the Global VPN will be chargeable in our product, unlike Fortinet or Sophos, where it is free—this is a major difference.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend SonicWall NSv to other organizations for obvious reasons.
My overall rating for SonicWall NSv is nine.
