    SonicWall
    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.

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

    Usability
    SonicWall
    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.

    Support Rating
    SonicWall
    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.

    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.

    Sophos wasn't as user-friendly and TotalAV was more cost-effective for the team.

    Return on Investment
    SonicWall
    • 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.

    • One positive impact is the improved speed of the computers as there's more space on each one.
    • Peace of mind is another big return as we don't need to worry about our files - or our clients.
