Pros
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled.""The solution has good performance."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"The solution's robustness has meant that our team, regardless of where they're located, feels as though they're working right from the office, having secure and quick access to all essential tools.""It has become an integral part of our remote work toolkit, as it enables us to overcome USA IP restrictions, ensuring our global teams can collaborate effectively.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the static IP and speed.""We love the simple interface and speed and reliability of the system.""GoodAccess offers a very available professional support service - it can be via chat service, email, or phone.""Static IP Addresses with multiple gateway options per team allow us to set up different teams with different network accesses.""The task of managing security and auditing for unauthorized entries has been substantially diminished.""GoodAccess simplified our infrastructure and how we interact with clients."

More GoodAccess Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall.""SonicWall SMA has the most valuable feature of proprietary security technologies like Capture ATP.""Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is easy to configure and the deployment is straightforward. However, this is mostly because of the AWS setup.""It is faster than other security options when using remote connections.""The performance is good.""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.""The solution is reliable and has good overall performance."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"For small organizations, it works great. However, the larger the organization, the more scalable the pricing model, the better, since gateways can be very expensive if an organization needs multiple gateways.""The interface information could show more information about how threats have occurred. Right now, it only shows basic threat information.""This past year, I did not like having to purchase an upgrade to a plan with a minimum number of seats to get the features we needed. We do not use all of the seats.""The installable app's occasional bugs have caused disruptions for some users, impacting smooth usage.""It is worth mentioning that we do experience disconnects on rare occasions.""The interface could provide more extensive information regarding the occurrence of threats. Currently, it only displays rudimentary threat data.""The price tier is not suited for small teams.""I've found some bugs."

More GoodAccess Cons →

"Enhancing live tracking capabilities could improve the product, particularly in monitoring user activity and request statuses in real-time on the web interface.""The product itself is very good, but Dell needs to work on product visibility in their advertising.""This is an expensive solution and I think that the price could be improved.""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 overall menu is not very user-friendly and it could be easier.""The solution could integrate better with other platforms.""The product's technical support services could be improved.""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."

    Information Not Available
  • "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."
