"It did what I needed it to do. It was easy to use.""The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."

More Surfshark One Pros →

Cons
"The overall menu is not very user-friendly and it could be easier.""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 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.""This is an expensive solution and I think that the price could be improved.""The product's technical support services could be improved.""I'd like to see the product maybe polish keyboards in Bookmark.""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."

"There is room for improvement in stability.""The tool still blocks IP addresses for certain websites, making it an area of concern that requires improvements."
