What do you like best about the product?
Sonic wall offers security to our business network. We use SonicWall at our medical office and we have up to 5 locations so we use the VPN function of SonicWall as well. The software provides great antivirus capabilities, and content filtering as well. You can be in complete control of your network using SonicWall.

If you are not familiar with networking and some of the terminology, you will definitely need some assistance with setting it up. It could get complicated making routings and getting your firewall working to its best potential.

The problem we are addressing with SonicWall is security over our network. We handle patient information and have to keep everything confidential. So we use SonicWall to keep our network safe from intrusion and anybody who may want to try to get into our system to do harm.

If purchasing SonicWall please have a licensed tech help you set it up. Learning the software isn't hard. It will just take some getting used to .

easy to deploy and manage

  • August 18, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

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.
