We used the product as a VPN for remote users. We are a small office with a single server (HP Proliant 360p) environment running Windows Server 2019 and previously employed the use of a SonicWall TZ500 as our firewall. We had, at most, three remote users and six office users connecting at any given point in time. NetExtender was the VPN solution provided by SonicWall. The setup for Net Extender was tempermental (it had issues connecting to LDAP for authentication) and the overall experience was a nightmare. We ended up switching to another provider for our firewall and VPN.
We primarily use the solution for file transfer due to the fact that our exchange is in the cloud. We don't need it for our Outlook, however, we do have large files, being a construction company. We set it up at job sites and wherever anybody needs it remotely, it comes back in securely and we don't have that many latency issues We're doing very good with it.
I do a fair bit with the virtualized SSL VPN appliances to keep the VPN termination off of the firewall because it's a heavy load on the firewall. It also allows for better integration with so many customers being on the Microsoft 365 portal. We can't do SAML integration/authentication on VPN clients that are loaded on the firewalls, but we can do that when we put them on VPN-specific appliances.
-Enforce granular access policies and extend network access through native clients
-Enhance firewall encryption and security by redirecting all client traffic through VPN
-Reduce administrative overhead by simplifying remote access management
I use the solution to access the Tally server and other internal application servers.
My use case is around enterprise private access. And as a VPN solution.
The solution is used for remote connection for workers.
We use their SSL VPN specifically because we can link it to the identity management that is on Microsoft Office 365 portal.
Our primary use case is client-to-site VPN. We are customers of SonicWall.

NetExtender is for client VPN. Users can use it to connect through a VPN and remotely access the internet services.
This solution is not used internally. It is meant to be used externally because it is the VPN client. It is used for external access to the company.
