SonicWall NSv Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
CEO at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees4.5I used SonicWall NSv predominantly for gateway-level protection. Valuable features included bandwidth allocation and threat management. We faced challenges with heavy initial engines but improvements were made. Investment felt like insurance, with value enhanced through cloud features.
Owner at IT CARE4.5In our organization, we use SonicWall NSv for cloud security, and it deploys smoothly. Its Application Firewall enhances security, and we appreciate its sandboxing capabilities. However, the reporting feature needs improvement as it lacks detailed user-wise reports.
Director at Infosec Infra4.0I manage small and medium businesses using SonicWall NSv, valuing its adaptability across various industries. However, the cost is high, and customer service in India poses challenges with unnecessary questioning, impacting support efficiency.
Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer at Khansaheb4.0We use SonicWall NSv as our firewall on Azure, and it enhances our security with effective threat prevention. However, upgrading is challenging as we can't directly upgrade to a new generation, requiring a complete VM rebuild.
IT Project Manager at LifeCell international Pvt.Ltd5.0We implemented SonicWall NSv as an on-premises firewall for user restriction and connectivity, especially supporting work-from-home users. It's easy to configure and has no extra charges. However, SSL VPN needs to support more than 100 users.
Senior Engineer at Team Computers2.5I use SonicWall NSv for SSL VPN and log management due to its ease of use. However, the initial setup is complex and requires substantial expertise. Despite this, I find the solution effective for centralized management.
Information Technology Specialist at a construction company with 201-500 employees4.5We use SonicWall primarily for setting up VPN connections and as a firewall. Its simplicity in rule management is a valuable feature. However, the export/import feature needs improvement, and pricing in Brazil can be enhanced.
