SonicWave Unintuitive and Cumbersome
My company has deployed SonicWall Firewall with SonicWave AP's at two companies. Originally the SonicWall WiFi firewall appliance was deployed with the possibility of expanding wifi for these customers. Which was the case. We were told that they will mesh easily into the current production environment. This was not the case. This product is not intuitive and is difficult to add to a SonicWall 300w Firewall appliance. There are other solutions with better cost benefits and user friendliness than this product.
- Provide reasonable wifi service when configured correctly
- Settings rich for the network engineer
- Aesthetically pleasing to the eye
- Detailed setup instructions
- Auto Setup Feature for mesh
- Provide filters without a yearly subscription
- WiFi throughput
- WiFi range
- WiFi connections
- Negative effect on time to setup.
- Expensive and not intuitive.
- Works well once setup.
SonicWall falls short when compared to Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti Networks provide products that are intuitive, feature rich and priced for small to medium businesses. SonicWall is feature rich although you have to pay extra to unlock those features.
