We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled.""The solution has good performance."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."

More Ivanti Tunnel Pros →

"The performance is good.""I like the load balancing capability.""This solution has many options for remote desktop and access.""SonicWall SMA allows us to provide CML-based access to any user.""I think they ask for a fair price.""The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall.""The management and the dashboard are the solution's most valuable features.""Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is easy to configure and the deployment is straightforward. However, this is mostly because of the AWS setup."

More SonicWall SMA Pros →

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The product's interface needs improvement."

More Ivanti Tunnel Cons →

"I'd like to see the product maybe polish keyboards in Bookmark.""The overall menu is not very user-friendly and it could be easier.""The problem is that when combined with what the client already has, there are two different logins and two different management systems, and these should be consolidated into a single interface.""SonicWall's reporting isn't good. Reports should be part of a data plan. The login mechanism should be improved. It would be helpful if the client could use an agent to log in. An agent-server model would improve the performance of the RDB, which consumes a lot of bandwidth.""The solution could integrate better with other platforms.""SonicWall SMA is difficult to use and it does not provide easy access to different parts of the network.""The timed synchronization between the network appliance needs improvement.""The only thing that they could try to improve is the support for enterprise customers. Normally enterprises and SMBs can create a ticket, but for enterprises, SonicWall SMA needs to provide a global view, and this is what's currently missing. It's not even a question of timing. It's a question of the global vision because currently, it's lacking. They concentrate on the topic, but not on the means and not on the global picture. In most cases, there's something wrong with the integration of SonicWall SMA with other products, so that could also be improved."

    Maintaining user privacy is critical to the success of any mobile enterprise. But user privacy isn’t just limited to personal apps and content on the device; it extends to the network as well. That means IT must be able to secure traffic from enterprise apps without capturing personal traffic, such as a user posting a family photo on Facebook. As a result, protecting employee privacy requires IT to move beyond device-wide VPNs to more secure, intelligent, and granular app VPNs.
