SonicWall CFS Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Consultant at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees3.5I use SonicWall CFS for stable content and URL filtering. While reliable and easy to deploy, I wish it controlled more than web traffic, including malware scanning. Its setup was simple, and I rate it 7/10.
