User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall Based on my experience, this is a solid platform for a small to mid sized company, especially when there is someone who has IT experience, or can get outsourced IT help. I would not recommend for someone who is a technology novice. Also, this is a competent device for someone who is looking to add VPN services for remote workers.

Pros	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall If you have multiple sites and you want the connect the sites through secure medium this is best firewall for you. There are very advanced features helps you to connect the device easily and securely. Easy to connect the sites through advanced routing protocols. Incentivized VM VINAY Mandora Sr Team Leader Read full review
Cons	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall There are Service Bundles in SonicWall TZ that are Unlicensed and do not know why they have not be Activated - would need help to further understand benefits Do not know why Standard Support is Unlicensed WiFi range of TZ270W is very limited - need to add Access Points or Extended to obtain adequate coverage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall Overall the new interface is very logical and easy to navigate. We did struggle at first coming from the older interface and finding our way around the new. But our new users found it very simple to find what they were looking for. One negative we do all struggle with is packet cpature not always being clear how its set/what is being monitored. this could do with more information on teh intial page instead of having to look for it Incentivized ST Simon Tregear IT Support Read full review
Support Rating	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall Once you get to a competent technician the support experience is better. But I have found that the lower tiers of support are very slow to respond (like 1 email per day) and you typically have to re-explain yourself a couple times before they get it. I have not used Phone support, and that may be a better experience. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall SonicWall and WatchGuard are both fine appliances, but I am accustomed to the Barracuda NG. The Barracuda Control Center is so powerful and useful that it beats out the other two. SonicWall does a great job of dividing up firewall rules and NAT policies, but this is a preference among engineers. Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco No answers on this topic	SonicWall We have three SonicWall TZ devices and they are very helpful in a VPN set up. The subscription costs for the different features has a great return on investment. It is very well worth the money. The antivirus component has been very effective on the computers and servers the SonicWall TZ device protects. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
