SonicWall TZ Primary Use Case

Sathish  Ravichandran - PeerSpot reviewer
Server & Cloud Architect at Icare

We use the product for VPN connections. It allows establishing rules for user access control, specifying which types of websites and resources they can access. It defines restrictions for specific IPs. It helps us with web filtering templates, including white listings, black listings, and port numbers. We can configure port forwarding to allow specific services or applications like video and audio communications devices to be accessed outside the network. It involves configuring multiple ports to accommodate various types of use cases.

We are an MSP and Sonicwall partner and have installed virtually every model, from the TZ 150 during the old days, up to the new TZ 500, TZ 600s and NSA series. I've been using SonicWall for many years and it's still a major part of our solutions for many of our customers compared the optional product lines that we sell. I previous owned an IT firm for 30 years and recently merged with a larger organization where I focus on customer security and guidance.

It is cloud-based. I am managing it from my HQ to centralize all the branches connected with it, point-to point. I'm using the SonicWall for the gateway. Certainly I'm using it for DLP and antivirus logging, and we are using SonicWall firewall for the mail filtering. Also, we can use SonicWall firewall just like on SD-WAN. We can manage all our branches through that central point from their patches.

SN
Pre Sales Security at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Our customers use SonicWall TZ for network security and also for connectivity, e.g. when our customer is a company with HQ and branches, and they want to secure their branches the way they secure their HQ, we recommend SonicWall TZ so we're able to protect both the users in the HQ and the users in the branches. We also use this solution to optimize the bandwidth that they have by configuring SD-WAN services.

Another use case for this product is when using switches, e.g. when people want to connect their IP phones, their access points, and their access control devices, we recommend the switches and utilize SonicWall TZ, but mostly this firewall solution is for network security monitoring, analytics, and reporting.

Deployment is based on a client's requirements. If a client gives us the requirement for the cloud, then we do the cloud deployment.
