Overall Satisfaction with SonicWall TZ

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have deployed Sonicwall TZ devices in our branch offices. These devices are relatively simple (for a business firewall) to set up and the configuration can be used as a template to quickly deploy on devices in other sites. They also have a great graphical interface, in particular the dashboard for overview monitoring which means overall we have firewalls which do not take up excessive staff resources to set up and maintain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Centralised management
Great Graphical user interface
Reporting and Analytics

Cons

VPN's issues can be a little difficult to pinpoint for the intermediate user. The previous generation software had a GUI for VPN's but this seems to have disappeared in G7?
Configuring logging can be difficult when troubleshooting. Get help from support on this if in doubt, it will save you a lot of time!

Likelihood to Recommend

The Sonicwall TZ is a great choice for SME's and small branch offices, you can get up and running relatively quickly on these with a standard configuration or for those wanting to fine tune it is easy to find your way around with the way the interface is split into different sections and headers.
