Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use it to secure our data center network. We use the VPN to build a connection to our office as well as the Azure cloud.
Pros and Cons
  • Firewall
  • VPN
  • DLP
  • Configuration can be cumbersome if you aren't familiar with the SonicWall OS. There are a lot of steps to do common tasks.
  • The LDAP integration isn't very stable and drops connectivity to the LDAP servers.
  • AV scanning.
Likelihood to Recommend
We were a small business and it was very well suited for an smb . The basic security was good and fairly simple. The issue I would say was the biggest issue was pushing out rules to multiple appliances.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize the SonicWall NSA 4600 as an all-in-one firewall/security/VPN appliance for our organization of 5000 users and gigabit internet. We utilize IPS, DPI, content filtering, VPN, mail filtering, and more. We currently run in an HA configuration for active failover. This is used over our entire organization, and it solves the problem of needing a secure connection to the internet and allowing secure connections from the internet to several locally hosted servers.
Pros and Cons
  • VPN
  • Content filtering
  • IPS
  • Anti-malware
  • Dynamic content filtering
  • Built-in LetsEncrypt SSL feature
  • Logging
Likelihood to Recommend
SonicWall NSA is best suited for small to mid-size companies or small to medium K-12 school districts. It's less appropriate for larger businesses and schools. This is due to their ease of use and well-rounded feature set but lacks in advanced configuration, performance, and reliability.

Alternatives Considered
We compared the FortiGate to Sonicwall and continued with Sonicwall as we were a mid-size school where the Sonicwall was performing adequately, and the learning curve was steep to switch platforms. The Sonicwall offered everything the FortiGate did, and was not as costly, both in the appliance and in licensing.
