SonicWall has an NSM tool where all of the firewalls are managed in a single console. However, that NSM is very poor. The solution does not have many features and the performance is not great. Previously, we had generation six and six point five. Generation seven has a lot of bugs and the quality isn't great. When the new firmware comes in, there are a lot of bugs and malfunctions. This includes malfunctions of the firewall and network outages. The solution should be made more robust and the bugs should be removed for proper performance. The solution's stability and scalability also need improvement.

It is definitely a good fit for small to mid-size companies. I am always a little hesitant to say large companies because they may have a few different requirements because they're large enough. That's where you begin to differentiate between the firewalls or some of those features that are there in one but might not be there in other ones, but I would always consider it. I would even consider it for a large company, but when you compare it with Fortinet or some of the other firewalls that are geared towards big companies, you can start seeing where they might be lacking a feature or two. I am not even sure if those features are the key critical requirements, but that's where it starts to fall down. I would rate SonicWall NSSP a nine out of ten. I am not implementing it for a large company, but it meets all of our needs very well.

We use it for the data center to protect the server and prevent internal attacks and also external attacks, if they can pass through the first tier-one firewall The sandbox and the DPI-SSL are two main key features that I find valuable. SonicWall NSSP is stable and scalable too. You also get more…

"The solution's pricing is good."
"SonicWall NSSP is stable and scalable too."
"It has been delivering results efficiently. Its configurations and updates have been easy. It is also user-friendly."

Room for Improvement

"The solution's stability and scalability also need improvement."
"The user interface, the GUI, could be improved."
"No security product is foolproof against hackers, intruders, and other such things. As a security product, they have to keep pace in terms of protection from new hackers and intruders."

Pricing

"The pricing is cheap, and that's where, you know, the some of the organization goes for the SonicWall."
"For SonicWall NSSP high availability, active/passive, you need to buy one license, and so you get much more value for money."
"You got to buy some VPN licenses, and there might be a $40 to $50 one-time license fee per current user. There are different layers. They have several different levels of event security software and depending on the model, it seems to come out to be $1 to $2 a day. So, if you bought a three-year license, it is going to be anywhere from $900 to $1800 depending on the bundle and model that you buy."
