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 →

"The most valuable feature is our ability to limit access by user, IP address, or MAC address.""The platform is easy to use.""It is a stable solution...The initial setup of the product is very easy.""Sangfor SSL VPN provides secure encryption for communication.""Sangfor SSL VPN is a secure and user-friendly solution."

More Sangfor SSL VPN Pros →

"The most valuable feature for the Netextender is the ease with which we can integrate it with SAML.""My company opted for this solution because it can individually perform. Basically, we don't require load balancers and all those additional feature sets or additional devices that might be required. The solution can handle the certificate, DNS queries, and all that stuff individually.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""NetExtender works very well. I never had an issue with it, and it has been working well for me. In terms of management, you have good control over the destination. You can use NetExtender to set the policy and the static route for a client. You can modify it based on what your client needs or can access. You have good control over routing.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""The product has two-factor authentication.""Employees can have access to the network from home.""The solution provides high availability."

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"I think Sangfor can provide a web-based SSL VPN version.""The technical support team takes around two months to respond to queries. It is very time-consuming.""No solution is perfect, so there is room for improvement.""Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis.""In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically."

More Sangfor SSL VPN Cons →

"Right now, you have to load each license on to an appliance. You can't pool across multiple appliances. So, you end up having to do a lot of administrative work to recover if an internet provider goes down, and you cannot leverage it as easily into a DR solution.""The solution takes up a lot of bandwidth.""The initial setup of SonicWall Netextender is straightforward. The only issue we encountered was with relocating the VPN appliance. If we needed to move it from an on-premise to an on-cloud architecture, we had to start over and redeploy it from scratch. Unfortunately, it is not portable and any changes to its physical location often result in the need for a fresh deployment to ensure everything functions properly.""The UI could be a little better.""SonicWall can be difficult for some people, but I don't find it difficult. Some companies provide a VPN client for free, but you have to pay for NetExtender.""The product does not work well.""There must be a multi-factor authentication enabled or integrated by default with it in order to be integrated with NetExtender.""The only concern I do have is with the zero trust, and the solution is not coping with the newer technologies as much as it needs to do on that particular factor."

  • More Sangfor SSL VPN Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "After a certain number of users, you require extra licensing."
  • "You have to pay for its license. There are some other companies that provide a VPN client for free. When you buy NetExtender, its license is available for one, three, or five years."
  • "Cost wise, it would be a few hundred dollars for the base appliance with the first five clients. Then from there, your cost per seat depends on how many you're getting. It's a one-time cost, and then you have a few hundred dollars a year for the maintenance contract once you get the one-time seat costs out of the way."
  • "The price of SonicWall Netextender is reasonable. Whether it's a small shop with only five users or a larger operation with 130 users, we have received no complaints or objections regarding cost from any of the clients we are looking to deploy it with."
