SonicWall Email Security Reviews

What is most valuable?

For me, one of the most valuable features would be that I want to block attachments by extension type in Office, but it is not possible using SonicWall Email Security — at least not in any solution that I have found. The SonicWall Firewall device does not block all macros with the version or configuration I have. This is a problem. But SonicWall support said that new features will be coming in… more»

What needs improvement?

I think one improvement would be to add HTML recovery for scanning all attachments and links for malware and macros. It would be nice to add some features to block commands and the ability to open Office 365 products, even if it is just added as an extra feature. Overall, I'd advise adding some blocking unit. It is something I need in an update, but I don't see any solution for it in the email… more»

What other advice do I have?

One of the most important things for me is choosing an email security device. These products need to have full features to give you the best protection. products delivering this type of security need to remain up-to-date, available and usable. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We have a two-year license subscription and the price is very high.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

What is most valuable?

The anti-spam aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

The after-sale support needs improvement. They don't have representation in my country. It's always through email or remote connectivity that we work under. That is why I just had to drop the solution and look for something else. If they… more»

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We paid a licensing fee every two or three years. There are also additional costs associated with the solution.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We've currently stopped using SonicWall and are currently using Check Point. We stopped using SonicWall due to the lack of in-country support. We also received a new device from Check Point, which offers more features for both firewall and… more»

What other advice do I have?

Before I got email security I was using the NSV 2400 as the edge device, as the firewall, so this solution integrated smoothly with the firewall and the Microsoft Exchange I was using. That was very helpful. You definitely need very good… more»

The most valuable features are the anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-virus, and anti-spoofing.

What needs improvement?

A lot of spoofed emails are still coming to the end-user, so the configuration for this option needs to be improved. We had an issue where our logs stopped working. We contacted support and they were able to correct the problem. We created a list of rules used to approve email, but when the list hit… more»

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to using this solution, we relied on Microsoft Office 365 ATP, but we did not use a dedicated email security product.

What other advice do I have?

This solution has been really good for us and I recommend using it. If there is a big difference between what you are using now and this solution, then test it out. When we look for new solutions, we want to know what features are not in SonicWall. So far, we have stayed with it, but we would like… more»
