SonicWall NSA Valuable Features

At the moment, none. It just doesn't do its task. Users, no matter how you configure it - and it's configured quite carefully in the sense of censoring - seem to be able to punch to the file. It just doesn't do its job. It seems to have all the features, it's just not performing. It has good reporting, the reporting is marvelous, but reporting is always after the fact and you want to be proactive if you're a firewall. You don't want to be saying “Ah! We had a bot running on the network,” while SonicWall itself didn't give that indication in an active way. View full review »

Application control: It allows us to block applications, i.e., websites by application type category. It is far more capable than content filtering alone. (Be aware that firmware updates may cause network connectivity anomalies, and a reset / reconfiguration will be needed) View full review »

Support is usually good when it comes to helping out with issues. Once the matrix is learned, it becomes a much better tool, but the learning curve is pretty large. View full review »
