"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"Security needs improvement."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."

"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"It would be good if Analyzer would be part of the stock license, so even if a layperson is getting the device, he or she doesn't forgets about ordering the Analyzer because it's already there."
"The reporting analytics could be improved, it is very unstable."
"The stability could be a lot better."
"We would like to improve the rules configuration in SonicWall TZ. Sometimes the rules don't work."
