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 synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."

More SecureLink Pros →

"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 think they ask for a fair price.""SonicWall SMA has the most valuable feature of proprietary security technologies like Capture ATP.""The performance is good.""The management and the dashboard are the solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall.""Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is easy to configure and the deployment is straightforward. However, this is mostly because of the AWS setup.""This solution has many options for remote desktop and access."

More SonicWall SMA Pros →

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."

More SecureLink Cons →

"This is an expensive solution and I think that the price could be improved.""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 product itself is very good, but Dell needs to work on product visibility in their advertising.""I'd like to see the product maybe polish keyboards in Bookmark.""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 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.""The product's technical support services could be improved.""The solution could integrate better with other platforms."
