SonicWall TZ Reviews

We use SonicWall TZ for standard firewall use cases, like blocking intrusion attacks.

The solution's VPN is very good for stability and detecting threats. The solution's web content filter seems to be very good.

The solution's pricing could be made cheaper.

I have been using SonicWall TZ for five years.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for stability.

Approximately 250 to 300 users are using SonicWall TZ in our organization.

I would recommend SonicWall TZ to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The solution is used for firewall protection with our customers.

Stability is the most valuable feature of the solution.

The cost of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

The solution is stable.

The solution can be used for small, and medium companies as long as the organization has the budget for it. I recommend Cisco Meraki for enterprise companies because it works on the cloud and is more scalable.

The solution is expensive.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

I recommend the solution.

It is an easy solution to set up.

It's a stable solution.

Technical support has been helpful.

The price is good.

The solution doesn't have great scalability.

Getting support can be slow. 

The proxy feature is not so good.

They need to work on word filtering and also the SD-WAN.

With FortiGate, they provide an NAC solution. They provide FortiClient, which is an advanced feature. SonicWall doesn't provide NAC solutions, and even their SSL VPN client is not advanced.

I've been working with SonicWall since 2015 - almost seven years.

The solution has 98% stability. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

We have about 1,200 users on the solution. It's deployed to different departments and branches.

It's not really scalable. Not like FortiGate.

Technical support is knowledgeable, yet they are not fast. To be honest, they are good.

In my organization, I'm working mostly for some other companies. I'm using different firewalls - except Forcepoint. I'm not working with Forcepoint right now, however, in terms of other products, I'm working with them.

The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex. 

Two people handled the deployment. It took about half a day. It was a very fast setup. 

For a small and medium implementation, it's quick, however, for an enterprise, it takes some time to configure the policy for the company.

I handle the deployment process for my clients. We use an internal team. We didn't open a case with SonicWall. If we face a problem, we open a case with them.

We've seen pretty good ROI so far.

The licensing is yearly based or three years. Their price compared to others is good.

We're end-users.

I'm not working on the latest version of the solution. I missed one or two updates.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to others. 

SonicWall TZ is used for network security.

SonicWall TZ can improve the UI application and when you create any net policies or any new policy, it will not sync or work properly.

I have been using SonicWall TZ for approximately three months.

SonicWall TZ is stable. However, sometimes we have some issues.

The scalability of SonicWall TZ is good and easy to add users. 

I have contacted the technical support from SonicWall TZ and their support is good.

I have previously used UiPath and FortiGate firewalls and FortiGate is my favorite because it is consistent and has a good configuration. UiPath has a good interface and is user-friendly.

The price of SonicWall TZ is good for medium-sized companies.

My advice to others is this is a good solution but sometimes it is not working properly. I would recommend this solution for a home setup and I would recommend FortiGate firewalls for companies.

I rate SonicWall TZ a six out of ten.

It is for our company. We are not customers, we are direct clients. I am the end user.

The general feature is the antivirus policy, followed by the ransomware protection, and these are the features I was looking at. The VPN feature is not something that I'm a great fan of, but I mean, it is not something that I would even complain about. Whatever is required for my organization, the TZ 400 has performed admirably.

The user interface is a little challenging. It is not something I am familiar with. Things could go much more smoothly if they could be improved.

The interface and technical support are probably the two most important things that I would like SonicWall to improve. If the product that they have is to be phased out, there must be an upgrade in technology as well.

I have been working with SonicWall TZ for seven years.

The version we are working with is SonicWall TZ400.

SonicWall TZ is a stable product.

SonicWall TZ is scalable.

It was difficult to contact technical support online.

Before SonicWall TZ, I have not worked with another similar product.

I recently purchased a FortiGate from Fortinet. I am about to receive the delivery, which will most likely be in a fortnight, so I do not have much experience. We are planning to use Fortinet FortiGate, our plan is to switch from SonicWall to Fortinet.

The initial setup is smooth. It is not complex.

It can take an hour to two hours to deploy.

The vendor was able to assist us.

The prices are expensive. I wouldn't say the prices are reasonable.

Personally, I find it challenging. Previously, they had an Adobe Flash interface. When Adobe Flash was phased out and a new version was released, it was difficult for us to upgrade, and we received little help from the SonicWall team.

I had also purchased the SonicWall Analyzer. The Analyzer was also based on Adobe Flash, which they did not support. One must consider future expandability and the technology that is being deployed, as well as whether or not it is supported by the company if it is phased out.

I would rate SonicWall TZ a six out of ten.

We are primarily using SonicWall TZ for a VPN.

SonicWall TZ is very user-friendly and has network MAC binding. Additionally, the firewall works well.

I have been using SonicWall TZ for approximately three years.

Sometimes there is a glitch between the network connection. Last time, something happened on our IP phone,  the SonicWall team did some updates to fix the issue. However, glitches happen very rarely. I did not experience any other types of problems.

95% of the time the solution is operating well, the performance is good overall.

There are approximately 40 users using this solution and it is scalable.

I have used other solutions in the past, but I have found SonicWall TZ the most user-friendly.

The initial setup was not complex.

We used some help from the vendor for the implementation. When new implementations or devices are added we sometimes use the vendor for assistance.

The solution is low maintenance. There is some updating that needs to be done by the two-person IT team.

There are a few features that are licensed and there should be more that are licensed. The price of the solution is midrange compared to others, I have not had anyone complain.

I rate SonicWall TZ a nine out of ten.

I am a SonicWall certified professional, and my company has SonicWall MSP, as well as projects, security, and limited protection.

I am a reseller, as well as a Silver partner.

SonicWall TZ is primarily used by the NSA to secure internet network and products.

The most valuable feature is content filtering and app control.

I like to security with integrated thread prevention and SD-WAN.

SonicWall has many problems with the reporting analytics.

The reporting analytics could be improved, it is very unstable.

I have been using SonicWall TZ for approximately nine years.

SonicWall TZ is a stable solution.

It is a scalable product.

There are approximately 1,000 users among all of my customers.

I am an MSP SonicWall provider and about 50 SonicWall solutions spread across many customers, each with 10-100 users.

We intend to increase our usage because, in Brazil, we have a lot of problems with viruses, crypto viruses, and trojans. We can offer them security.

The initial setup was straightforward and simple.

It took approximately two hours to deploy the initial setup.

It can be deployed very quickly both on the cloud and on-premises.

I have a team of ten technical professionals to maintain and deploy this solution.

Licensing fees are on a anual or monthly basis.

There are no additional costs. It is only about support and license fees.

SonicWall is a good product that I enjoy using, and the security is superior to that of other security companies. It provides excellent protection.

I would rate SonicWall TZ a nine out of ten.

We use it for protection. We're about two versions behind the latest version.

It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is good for protecting the business from being compromised. Its port protection is very good.

It could probably be more user-friendly, and it could be more scalable with releases and subscriptions.

I have been using this solution for a few years.

Its scalability is not bad. It could be more scalable with releases and subscriptions. 

We have about 200 users.

I never needed their support.

I can't remember the old solution we had, but it was no good. So, we went to SonicWall.

It was a long time ago. From what I recall, it was pretty straightforward.

For deployment and maintenance, we have a technical team of around five internal people.

We have to pay yearly. Its licensing can be improved, and they should provide more features, such as AV, email filtering, and so on with the basic subscription.

There are a lot of products out there, and I don't have that much experience with any other product. If I have to buy a new product, I would probably review and do a comparison with SonicWall. 

Overall, I don't have any issues with the product. I like this product. It is very good. I would rate it an eight out of 10.
