All in one
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is that it is all in one. SonicWall can do from firewall to content filtering to VPN and more. That is the best thing about it. The device itself does a lot. Most of the time it works great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface and the configuration is not easy to use. I hope I can see more user friendly and easy to configure update soon. Some time when yo do change on your network, yo will need to reboot sonicwall in order to continue working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
combined multiple devices in one. I used to have firewall, content filtering and routers devices. This replaced all of them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it. It does a lot and work most of the time. The ability to VPN between other sonicwall devices, is working great.
Great firewall - hard to configure
What do you like best about the product?
Sonicwall is an extremely powerful firewall. The level of customization is almost without limit. The feature that I mostly use everyday is setting up static IPs and dynamic IPs. I also use the deep packet inspection because it work beautifully and it allows me to control all the traffic and it also helped me troubleshoot some port issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The level of customization being without limit makes it also extremely complex for simple tasks. I had to set up port forwarding and opening ports, and it was a real nightmare to find what I was looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to prevent any unauthorized access to our data and also use the VPN feature that works beautifully. We very rarely encounter issues with our users not being able to access our network remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When choosing your firewall make sure you research compatibility with all the devices that you'll be using on your network. For instance, on top of all equipment such as computer and printers, we also have sonos, audio and video over network and luckily everything worked out but it's important to keep in mind that aspect. I recommend the SonicWall even though the learning curve is pretty slow, Dell support is amazing and you can count on them to help.
