A stable solution that is used for endpoint security and to protect computers from malware

We are using the latest version of SonicWall Capture Client. Fortinet is ahead of SonicWall. The range of appliances, equipment, availability in my country with the distributors, and the overall ecosystem of Fortinet is way better than SonicWall. My advice to others looking into using SonicWall Capture Client is to keep giving feedback to the companies regarding whatever improvements should be made. Overall, I rate SonicWall Capture Client an eight out of ten.

Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations

The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."

Cons

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"The implementation is not easy."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"They should improve their user interface."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."

"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"It’s a single license platform."
