    SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is well suited as a solution for VPN on your phone. It allows our agency's employees to access our data and system from almost any device at any time. SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is less appropriate if you need to implement the product in a very short time frame, as it took longer than expected for rollout to staff.

    The product as well as the admin panel is getting richer. Would love port-level access control as well as some more analytics in the admin panel. From what I hear, the team is actively working on it

    • Easy access management for cloud resources, better security than VPN or IP allow lists
    • 2FA via Google Login or OKTA
    • Easy to onboard external team members (contractors, partners, clients, etc)
    • Was easily approved by my partner security teams to use alongside their VPN client with no conflicts.
    • Zero-trust security is a must-have feature these days!
    • You pay for User, not Client or Resources--easy to roll out to all devices used by your users.
    • No more hassle of maintaining IP allow lists for WFH/remote teams

    Cons
    SonicWall
    • SMA is limited to only SSL VPN , it should have support for hybrid VPN (SSL + IPSEC)
    • There are different specs and features for Enterprise and SMB. Features should be same for all devices.
    • It does not have URL filtering, content filtering, AV/IPS and Threat Prevention features. For achieving the same, we need to deploy another product like firewall or proxy.

    Both Citrix Gateway and Sonic Secure Mobile Access are great for providing your workers with the ability to work remotely during the pandemic to access their office network. Both have secure networks and are stable systems to use. They both perform well for employees and provide helpful customer tech support when needed.
