"Another approach that allows us to multiply how we prevent security threats"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

The features of SonicWall in the TZ and NSA family include SonicWall's Cloud-based Advanced Threat Protection with different engines. The results are satisfactory in our organization as we manage more than 350 locations that require us to be vigilant against attacks and ensure business continuity. With ATP, we have saved time and human resources as their cloud platform facilitates the prevention of zero-day threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

For the ATP solution, an additional license is needed, and this raises the cost if you only consider acquiring the comprehensive licensing. Additionally, if there is no channel that provides 24/7 support services, you have to do it directly with the brand by raising an RMA.

On the other hand, regarding reports, I don't like that you have to buy the GMS solution because with the control panels that the box already has, it is not very helpful since you don't have full visibility of what is happening in my network. The GMS solution involves additional licenses that can be On-premise - In the Cloud - on local servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's reliable! Sonicwall UTM"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Overall, I like most of the feature of Sonicwall, but here, I would like to mentioned about one the feature from the bundle, and which is IPS. Off course, when IPS is enabled performance may goes down due to multitasking, and consumption of other resource, still it's gives best performance. When IPS is enabled, we can evade number of illegal traffic towards our network. And Sonicwall has great database of IPS signature with perfect classification.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Well, there are couple of things that can be improved, such as when GUI is being access is very slow, rules managing, log monitoring is not available on the device where you need separate device/cloud service to store the data. One more thing, which is when you integrate AD with device, you can not create custom group as it use from AD server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A respectable budget-friendly security/firewall solution"
3.5/5

The SonicWall is a great "all in one" package. It offers robust content filtering, firewall features, security monitoring, virus/spyware blocking, and lots more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Since this is an "All in one" solution, it doesn't have the same granular controls over specific areas compared to dedicated products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice web interface "
3.5/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Ease of use of the software. Makes it very simple to get through and fix. These provide a firewall for our stores and assist in PCI certification. Very happy with the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

The actual hardware. We have had several go bad after a year. They take a long time to replace. The ports seem to go bad first. They do not like change at all. It is an odd thing to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Firewalls that work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Sonicwall has pretty decent support that if they can't solve it over the phone will do a webex session and collect data to replicate the issue in their lab environment and be able to work a solution up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

Sometimes with the new GUI for our firewall, changes do not save, which requires us to re-enter the data again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SonicWall Customer Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

SonicWall allows me to connect to my home office's network via a VPN and thus, allows me to work remotely. I've even use it internationally to seamlessly establish a remote connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

It does require a basic knowledge of how VPN's work, which I had to learn prior to using this product. Once you have your network's IP address and other mandatory technical information that SonicWall requires, a remote connection can be seamlessly established.

"Spotty/OK"
4/5
What do you like best about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

I like the fact that this program allows me to work remotely. It allows me to access everything on my computer at work from home. It provides quick and seamless access into the network and my account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonicWall Next Generation Firewall?

It can be very spotty at times. Sometimes I randomly lose connection at home, which can affect my work. At times I've lost my work product, because I lost connection mid progress (had not saved). Another aspect I dislike is if I walk away from my computer for more than 5 minutes, it automatically seems to disconnect. When this happens, I'm forced to log back in again.
