Aruba Virtual Intranet Access vs SonicWall SMA comparison

"The solution is very user friendly."

"What I like best about SonicWall SMA is the relationship between its features and its price, because the solution is both affordable and functional."

"SonicWall SMA allows us to provide CML-based access to any user."

"I like the load balancing capability."

"SonicWall SMA has the most valuable feature of proprietary security technologies like Capture ATP."

"It is faster than other security options when using remote connections."

"The solution is reliable and has good overall performance."

"Blocklisting and allowlisting are the most beneficial features for network security."

"This solution has many options for remote desktop and access."

"Configurations can be a bit complex."

"SonicWall's reporting isn't good. Reports should be part of a data plan. The login mechanism should be improved. It would be helpful if the client could use an agent to log in. An agent-server model would improve the performance of the RDB, which consumes a lot of bandwidth."

"User interface could be improved."

"This is an expensive solution and I think that the price could be improved."

"Enhancing live tracking capabilities could improve the product, particularly in monitoring user activity and request statuses in real-time on the web interface."

"The only thing that they could try to improve is the support for enterprise customers. Normally enterprises and SMBs can create a ticket, but for enterprises, SonicWall SMA needs to provide a global view, and this is what's currently missing. It's not even a question of timing. It's a question of the global vision because currently, it's lacking. They concentrate on the topic, but not on the means and not on the global picture. In most cases, there's something wrong with the integration of SonicWall SMA with other products, so that could also be improved."

"The problem is that when combined with what the client already has, there are two different logins and two different management systems, and these should be consolidated into a single interface."

"The solution has 2FA, it will generate a token and send it to an email, but multifactor authentication is not available. I would suggest that there should be MFA integration and provided with the appliance."

"The timed synchronization between the network appliance needs improvement."

"The cost of the licensing is based on the maximum number of concurrent users, and it costs a lot to add them."

"Our licenses are stackable and can be anywhere from five users to a million users."

"This solution is priced well and we currently have the maximum number of licenses allowed."

"All the costs are included in a bundled license."

"I don't know about the pricing of the SSL-VPN box. I know the SSL-VPN software is free. Global VPN client, by comparison, is licensed for around $150 or something like that. But the SSL-VPN software is free. It is already built-in with the box."

"The platform has medium pricing."
