It's a very flexible, easy to configure, robust firewall for a great price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tech support could be better. In my experience, support engineers are hard to understand and don't seem to be all that helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Content Blocking Feature is so good I can block applications, websites, and proxies with few clicks. Setting up the firewall is also easy, and packet monitoring is also excellent. Site-to-site VPN Performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes get confused when trying to open ports. Sonicwall only offers 2 VPN licenses for free if more than two users need to buy a license. License renewal cost is high Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
