User Testimonials
	MX Layer	SonicWall Email Security Appliances
Likelihood to Recommend	MX Layer Its modules predominantly function via the cloud, rendering it exceptionally convenient for users. Its design based on the cloud liberates us from the burden of upkeeping the infrastructure. Burkay Yapagcioglu Consultant Read full review	SonicWall While this solution is capable of managing a smaller environment, I'm weary to install it into a larger customers' environment. This solution does a decent job of basic email security and centrally managed controls. Hardware upgrade options seem limited though if adding a lot more email boxes. Retention options are limited compared to other products. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	MX Layer No answers on this topic	SonicWall Simple GUI interface where everything is in one location and easy to use. Simple setup, but allows you to be flexible with different security zones. Robust, stays up and running. Incentivized Doug Shininger Server/Network Admin Read full review
Cons	MX Layer No answers on this topic	SonicWall Manufacturer is focused on several solutions (so likely not enough focus in one area) Not the most cost effective solution Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	MX Layer No answers on this topic	SonicWall We switched from Watchguard to SonicWALL because of the ease of use and everything was located in one place. At the time Watchguard was changing to force you to use a server to manage your VPNs, and we didn't see a reason to have to manage another product when it should have been able to do everything itself. SonicWALL met and exceeded our expectations. Incentivized Doug Shininger Server/Network Admin Read full review
Return on Investment	MX Layer No answers on this topic	SonicWall Blocks a majority of spam and malicious emails Sandboxing options limited Not the best solution out there that we have seen Incentivized Verified User Read full review
