	SonicWall TZ
Considered Both Products	SonicWall TZ Verified User Account Manager Chose SonicWall TZ SonicWall TZ is good at some things but overall I would pick Fortinet and UDM-Pro appliances most of the time and their VPN solution does not require paid license. Interface more modern and intuitive. Overall, better bang for your buck. Incentivized Helpful? ST Simon Tregear IT Support Chose SonicWall TZ We found SonicWall TZ licencing to be far simpler than barracuda options for the use cases we needed. We have run several other barracuda products andover time have swithced away fro other offerings - mostly due to the ease of use of the GUI. We also had much better support … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose SonicWall TZ The son of all subscription for antivirus is much more cost-effective and works just as well as Symantec antivirus products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose SonicWall TZ SonicWall TZ was a no brainer to choose over FortiGate or pfSense. We had used FortiGate units in the past and, in our experience, the interface is terrible, both on the device and the cloud side. There are constant updates that require you to jump through hoops to upgrade and … Incentivized Helpful? VM VINAY Mandora Sr Team Leader Chose SonicWall TZ We were using the Cisco ASA but there are lots of security features that are missing in these devices. SonicWall is a combination in advanced security and advanced routing. You can easy to use this firewall. Incentivized Helpful? WA Wayne Anderson Technical Support Engineer Chose SonicWall TZ I have chosen SonicWall TZ over the Fortigate as more ease of use and support been outstanding. Incentivized Helpful? RS Rafael Silva Especialista em TI Chose SonicWall TZ We chose the Sonicwall TZ250 because it has reliability in the Dell Sonicwall brand. It is a reliable product, with excellent support and warranty with face-to-face service should the need arise. It is cheaper than the competition, does not take up rack space, does not heat up, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose SonicWall TZ We like it is a small, portable, and has many features. I have confidence in the brand a long time. Support was also a differential to make the decision. Incentivized Helpful? Valery Mezentsau IT Department Manager Chose SonicWall TZ Pretty much similar functionality. SonicWall TZ400 compared to ASA 5506 has better hardware performance. SonicWall licenses cost less money which makes it better for the same needs and functionality. However, the Cisco ASA Internet unity and knowledge base are bigger then … Incentivized Helpful? Benjamin Hale Freelance IT Advisor/Specialist Chose SonicWall TZ Our previous firewall, from Xyzell, couldn't handle the bandwidth that video files needed within the internal LAN, so we looked at alternatives. SonicWall came recommend by a different IT professional for its solid performance and good documentation. We further researched the … Incentivized Helpful? Jhoneis Milano Project management Chose SonicWall TZ because it is multiprotocol, has continuous support and is also economical Helpful? Derek Schroeder Service Manager Chose SonicWall TZ 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 … Helpful? Ramon Vazquez IT Director Chose SonicWall TZ SonicWall TZ is a much better product. Easier to administer and use and much more elaborate in its rules. I would choose it over Watchguard any day. Incentivized Helpful? Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Chose SonicWall TZ Costs, features and ease of use were the determining factors. The UI alone outweighs the CLI from the ASA and SRX, features were easier to understand and licenses were more easily obtained. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	SonicWall TZ
Likelihood to Recommend	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	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	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	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	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	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	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
