SonicWall TZ Reviews

We use the solution to control and protect access between our various locations.

With this solution, our facilities are able to act as one, easily sharing resources. 

It protects against intrusion while allowing needed access. 

It needs more robust self-help documentation along with examples and things to watch out for. 

We have been using the solution for more than ten years.

The stability is great.

The solution works well.

Positive

Nothing is as robust and complete as SonicWall devices.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward and is particularly straightforward when upgrading.

Our implementation was done in a combination due to locations.

We have seen a 100% ROI. There are no intrusions. 

It was chosen by an IT support company.

Try it, you'll be glad you did, as you'll find a new peace of mind.

The primary use case for this solution is as a Network Firewall.

This solution protects the network. It lets me monitor in live time if someone is 'hogging' bandwidth. It lets me block websites, and the list goes on.

It is a very nice tool to have on the school network.

The most valuable features are for the protection of data, and IE Intrusion on the network.

I would like to see lower antivirus pricing.  So far I haven't found any situation that I needed anything else added/included.

I have been using this solution for five years.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

The customer service is always very good!

I did not use any other solutions. I only ever used SonicWall.

The setup was straightforward.  We had an existing SonicWall.

We implemented the solution in house.

This solution has an easy setup, good support, and reasonable pricing.

I did not evaluate any other options.

I am very satisfied with the solution.

I was a technical consultant, and I was helping clients out. I've had two clients. Both of them have had SonicWall, and both of them have gone through upgrades.

It does what it says it is going to do.

The user support could be improved because you have to go outside to get that kind of support.

I have been using this solution for five years.

We haven't used it. We've had to go outside and get technical support through a third party.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

The purpose of SonicWall is as a unified threat management appliance. We use SonicWall to protect our customers from cyber threat.

We have SonicWall in customer's on-premises environment and we have SonicWall in cloud data centers.

We like the central interface and we like the security features. Additionally, we use SonicWall with VPN connectivity and we have had no problems with SonicWall all these years.

In the next release, I would like to see a SonicWall integration with the DLP tool, this would be interesting. Data Loss Prevention integration.

I have been using SonicWall TZ for about 10 years.

SonicWall TZ is a stable solution.

In terms of scalability, we have to choose the right model according to the customer, their company's size, and according to the internet link capacity. Also according to the quantity of user parameters and the user quantity. The number of users and the link capacity are two parameters to define which SonicWall model is appropriate for that company.

They have a good technical support. I have no problem with them.

It is easy to set up SonicWall. It just depends on the scope of the project.

To set up for initial use takes about two hours. We start with the basic configuration and that is enough to start using SonicWall. After that, we do the more complex and detailed configuration of the security features.

Since we can deploy SonicWall in two hours with the basic configuration, we do a fast start because my users are starting to use the web and receive emails. After that, we do the next steps of the complex config for the more detailed secured configurations.

I would recommend SonicWall to other companies for their security, for the end customer and for security companies, to use as a UTM appliance. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate SonicWall TZ a nine.

We use SonicWall TZ for firewall and security services.

I like the firewall product, the security server, and the content filter.

The price could be better for us in Bolivia.

SonicWall TZ is very stable.

SonicWall TZ is scalable. 

Technical support is very good. 

The initial setup is very easy. Enterprises just need one person to maintain this solution. But for reseller support, we have two engineers and two specialists to help the engineers.

The price could be better for us in Bolivia. 

I will tell potential users that I think it's a great product. With the new version, you also have more facilities and more features to protect your infrastructure. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give SonicWall TZ a ten.

We use only the latest version. 

We use the solution for CFS, app control and in respect of integrated IAD users. 

The solution boasts good performance and is easy to use. 

The solution should provide some additional ports. Currently, we have only four to five of these.

We have been using SonicWall TZ for around five to six years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Tech support is knowledgeable when it comes to clarifying a technical issue. 

Installation takes a maximum of 30 minutes. There is a default template. 

One only need register the firewall, upgrade the latest firmware and select that template. It will automatically configure the template.

We have two teams that are responsible for the deployment and maintenance.

We have around 20 clients making use of the solution. 

We purchase the firewalls, distribute and implement them for our clients. We are implementers. 

I would definitely recommend the solution to others.

I rate SonicWall TZ as a ten out of ten. 

We use SonicWall directly with on-premise site filtering and BPM. Now we're using monitoring tools from SonicWall to get control of the clientside and help them remotely. That's most of the cases we are using.

We like their interface very much. It's pretty easy to use. 

There is a point I don't like about SonicWall in the past and now. Most of the destinations we look at when we're detecting some user using too much bandwidth or something like that, SonicWall just gave us the destination IP address instead of the full qualified domain name. I think that's the most important part that is still missing. I think that's the most important thing for us.

The fully qualified domain name is very good flexible information. We can detect issues on each page, so we don't have to wonder a lot about other tools. It would also help if there was a simple way to log in the users, which is one login from Windows Active Directory, without having to deploy patch information or using external tools like SSO. 

I have been using SonicWall TZ for about ten years now.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give SonicWall TZ a nine.

We primarily use TZ300 for our branch offices.

The price of the solution is great. It's a very cost-effective solution.

There are a lot of security features - including Capture Client, URL filtering, content filtering, application filtering, et cetera, and they are all very useful in terms of protecting our company.

The initial setup is easy.

The stability could be a lot better. The SonicOS, which we were using, was not that stable. Sometimes it is not performing as expected as per the policies we have set. 

The log, the logging capabilities, are not so good. For example, the logging for traffic logs was not being stored properly. The logging must support some storage space. If there is a storage device or storage mechanism within it we would be able to get the log easier.

We've been using the solution over the last 12 months or so. It's been a while.

We haven't found the solution to be very stable. t doesn't operate as we expect it to sometimes. We'd like it to be better, performance-wise.

We currently have 20-25 users in our branch offices. We started with 15 users and therefore we scaled up a bit, however, not in a massive sense. At this point, we likely won't scale anymore.

We have been in touch with technical support and I would say that they are responding fine. We are happy so far with their attention. Occasionally we deal with stability issues and we find that they respond quickly.

The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It's very straightforward. The whole setup is pretty plug-and-play.

The pricing is very reasonable. It's quite cost-effective. We purchase a license that renews yearly.

We did previously also look at Sophos.

We are partners and resellers. I'm a consultant.

I'd advise new users that if they are planning to deploy it for their SMB or have up to 100 users, then they should go with the SonicWall firewall.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.
