Not a bad unit but could be better
What do you like best about the product?
It does have a really good range of configurable options and there is a wide range of models to suit various markets. The larger units are certainly something that you could use in a large data centre.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web interface is very dated, only one admin can be logged in at a time ( 6th gen and below) . The web content filtering is not granular enough for education customers. Application control is also an on or off setting you cannot have different settings for different groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a general firewall/router, it is OK, but I found it was unable to handle large volumes of deep packet inspection, which is required in most schools nowadays.

Sonicwall NSV - missing cloud native features
This product works like many other Firewall/VPN/Routers available through AWS marketplace and seems fine for that use. I had specifically looked at this one as Sonicwall advertise the ability to directly pass logs through to cloud watch. Unfortunately this is not the case with this product. Their NSA series (physical hardware) devices can, but there cloud native product NSV, running on the same firmware release does not have the feature available, or it is hidden from where it should be in the Manage-Network settings page. Seems very odd that their AWS native product cannot talk to AWS cloud watch, whereas their Hardware (on Premise) appliances can.
No complaints
What do you like best about the product?
Easy remote access when I need to check my work email

I just use it as a login portal to my Remote Desktop
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.
