Product not working in AWS
Can not access console after deployment. Can not SSH as well. Can ping after enabling ICMP in firewall. Try to login using serial console, but credentials are not working. Crazy !!!
Not working
Not able to access it via IP to set it up. I set it up with all the default settings, checked IPs, etc, still not able to access. I can ping the server (once I enable ICMP), but I cannot connect via browser to configure it.
Better than nothing
What do you like best about the product?
When properly configured it does its job, until it doesn't
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not friendly, simple things like NAT or port forwarding are overly complicated to set up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Honestly, Sonicwall is not a product we use by choice, normally it is the relic of a client's former MSP. It does secure a client's network, and while it is robust it is not user friendly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have a better option the sonicwall will work for you as long as you take the time to make sure you have it configured correctly, it is more robust than any consumer grade firewall, but is not as user friendly as something like a Watchguard Firebox or a Meraki product. When the sonicwall decides its done good luck, in the past year I personally have pulled at least 5 Sonicwalls because they would frequently stop responding to the network until power-cycled, and if you come across an older unit that hasn't had its firmware updated you might not be able to get in at all unless you happen to have a very old browser installed
