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

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible""the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure.""Safe-T is very good for users because it has plug-in for Outlook.""It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."

More Safe-T Secure Application Access Pros →

"I am very satisfied with the technical support.""The performance is good.""What I like best about SonicWall SMA is the relationship between its features and its price, because the solution is both affordable and functional.""I like the load balancing capability.""Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is easy to configure and the deployment is straightforward. However, this is mostly because of the AWS setup.""SonicWall SMA has the most valuable feature of proprietary security technologies like Capture ATP.""The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall.""This solution has many options for remote desktop and access."

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office.""One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."

More Safe-T Secure Application Access Cons →

"The solution has 2FA, it will generate a token and send it to an email, but multifactor authentication is not available. I would suggest that there should be MFA integration and provided with the appliance.""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 product itself is very good, but Dell needs to work on product visibility in their advertising.""Enhancing live tracking capabilities could improve the product, particularly in monitoring user activity and request statuses in real-time on the web interface.""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.""The timed synchronization between the network appliance needs improvement.""The overall menu is not very user-friendly and it could be easier.""The solution could integrate better with other platforms."
