User Assessments By Topic About SonicWall TZ

Valuable Features

SonicWALL TZ ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/sonicwall-tz ) has a lot of great features. For me, the best features are Application Control and Sandbox. We could deny or allow any applications because the firewall works in Layer-7. In the sandbox, the network files are tested and validated to make sure the file are clean. This increases the security.

Improvements to My Organization

This solution is very good in terms of its security and its productivity. The feature that helps many companies the most is Bandwidth Control, as this increases the users' productivity.

Room for Improvement

* Increase SSL connections and reports. * The SSL connection is based on the amount of the user throughput. When this feature is enabled in any player of the Firewall, the hardware has a lot of work to do * The reports are great when a report is needed about security, viruses, Botnet, VPN, attacks, etc. But the user websites report is not too clean. I think it could be improved.

Scalability Issues

SonicWALL has a firewall for a company of any size.

Technical Support

I would give technical support a rating of 8/10.

Previous Solutions

I worked with many other solutions such as: iptables, pfSense ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/pfsense ), Endian, Fortinet FortiGate ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/fortinet-fortigate ), CheckPoint ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/check-point-utm-1 ), Aker, and TMG ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/microsoft-forefront-threat-management-gateway ).

I like to think that the TZ series has the best bang for the buck. Full of features and options that you need to control security with out breaking the bank. Perfect solution for smaller businesses.

Pricing, Setup Cost and Licensing

The price is very competitive.

Other Solutions Considered

We analyzed several Firewall solutions and chose SonicWALL, due to the features, security, and partnership.
