SonicWall Web Application Firewall implementation was relative easy to implement. I was use as site main firewall for a small group of users, it gives us a basic internet access and firewall functions.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

The GUI is very intuitive
Relative easy to implement
Easy access to firmware upgrades
Don't need special training

Things done well

Things done poorly

I will recommend SonicWall depending of the size of the company and the knowledge of the personal is going to administer the firewall. I deploy those in small office settings where manageability was relative non existence.

Most Important Features 3.4.21

Relative easy to maintain
Cut the cost of licenses

Return on Investment

Both products has their pro and cons. However in term of subscription and pricing for a small office, this offered better ROI as the office didn't want to spend too much and have something relative easy to manage.
