Opensense vs. SonicWall TZ

This solution is well suited for providing meaningful insights on brand reputation, compliance, and developing email/content strategies for marketing and sales team members. It integrates with email marketing software and provides very customizable analytics. It is not appropriate to be treated as a standalone email and content marketing solution, rather as an add-on to those tools.

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.

• management is confusing has many items that could be improved to facilitate the work to the network administrator
• in the diagnostic tool I would improve the response times, that is, if a ping test is required, it should be quick, since in cases of failures it is sought to minimize the impact as much as possible.
• each function has a different license item, I would place a single license package for all team functions

Overall all useability is great. The tool is dummy-proof, so anyone can use it and run it. No IT knowledge needed besides connecting it to your mail server which their team will walk you through. After that, you can have fun with the tools and create what you want to create for your teams.

I have used the SonicWall TZ 350 for years and I can say that it is an excellent and complete firewall. It is easy to configure and administer because it has a friendly interface. It is safe, it offers several types of security features, VPN, and also protection against malware. Support and warranty also recommended. It's fast and the problem was solved in less than 1 day.

Opensense was much cheaper and better integrated with my existing ABM platform. We used RollWorks and there was a native integration that allowed me to sync target account lists to email banner campaigns. This made it a no-brainer to go with Opensense over Sigstr and amplify our existing ABM program.

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.

• It has positively impacted our ability to securely and safely deliver email content to mass audiences

• VPN access allowed employees to be more flexible and being able to get internal resources from anywhere.
• Lower licensing price compared to competitors saved some money.
• Protecting from unnecessary connections increased performance and uptime.
