    For day to day use it works fine both business and personal. I find it fast and reliable. We are not using the LEO ai feature since we are already using ChatGPT but we probably should check it out as there may be some real benefit from a more integrated application. We have some company specific extensions which were important to us and so far they have all worked exceedingly well.

    It is well suited in places or scenarios where a VPN client is needed to be used either by IT staff or other employees. SonicWall's VPN Clients are very similar to VPN clients of other companies. SonicWall VPN Clients are meant to be used with SonicWall firewalls.

    Cons
    Brave Software
    • Brave's user interface, while generally intuitive, it could provide more options for customization and personalization. Allowing user to customize the browser's appearance, layout, and settings to a greater extent would enhance the user experience and cater to individual preferences.
    • While Brave offers syncing across devices, including mobile platforms, sometimes there are issues with the reliability and consistency of syncing bookmarks, settings, and browsing history. Improving the syncing functionality and addressing any potential inconsistencies would be valuable for users who rely on seamless integration across multiple devices.

    • doesn't have ability to name specific IPs, which gets burdensome when you have 50+ sites you access

    Does not have a renewal that we pay for by itself. It comes with our firewalls, which we are going to renew.

    Usability

    The interface is clean and intuitive but Some sites may not work properly due to strict ad-blocking

    SonicWall VPN Clients work for the most part. The Global VPN client has had its issues over the years. Also, NetExtender VPN client has had its share of issues. It is nice that SonicWall VPN Clients has updated the GUI of the NetExtender client within the last year, which has made it easier for our users to use.

    Phone support has been very reliable and useful, but there have been times when better support documentation would have made that call unnecessary. I like to tackle problems internally if I can, as it tends to save time and usually money. The SonicWall VPN Clients system seems to be pretty locked down as far as being accessible to self-manage.

    Alternatives Considered
    Brave Software
    We'll Simply put, we are still using Brave exclusively, so unless we're idiots, which we're not, Brave does a much better job than those other 5. We've also tried using Opera which isn't in the list and same thing, it didn't deliver the performance or features that we needed so back to Brave it was. What's unusual to us is that Brave is built on the Chromium platform, so you'd think ChromeOS would be better, but it's not.

    We started the process of vetting Norton VPN, but since it wasn't available from our preferred vendor, we ended up going with SonicWall VPN Clients by default.

    • Allows for remote work to boost employee productivity
    • Allows for IT to access large volumes of sites from a central location. We have about 50 buildings that I VPN into every so often for troubleshooting.
