Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
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 most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."

More SecureLink Pros →

"It is faster than other security options when using remote connections.""Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is easy to configure and the deployment is straightforward. However, this is mostly because of the AWS setup.""I think they ask for a fair price.""I like the load balancing capability.""The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall.""What I like best about SonicWall SMA is the relationship between its features and its price, because the solution is both affordable and functional.""This solution has many options for remote desktop and access.""The solution is reliable and has good overall performance."

More SonicWall SMA Pros →

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."

More SecureLink Cons →

"SonicWall SMA is difficult to use and it does not provide easy access to different parts of the network.""This is an expensive solution and I think that the price 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.""The product itself is very good, but Dell needs to work on product visibility in their advertising.""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 could integrate better with other platforms.""Enhancing live tracking capabilities could improve the product, particularly in monitoring user activity and request statuses in real-time on the web interface.""The timed synchronization between the network appliance needs improvement."
