I am still working with Sunny Core and using several solutions like SonicWall Firewall with NSM and Net Extender.
I am utilizing the Global VPN, which is part of SonicWall, primarily to connect to the application server. The advantage is that I can work securely on a specific application server using the VPN. That’s the main reason I am using it for now.
I must ensure I connect to the application server as a local user. Any organization will consider this a valuable feature if it includes the encryption option with the VPN.
This VPN has a secure tunnel created between the end user and the standard machine. This secure connection facilitates the transfer of data without compromising on security or speed.
I have not evaluated the product yet, so I do not have specific feedback. Currently, it is not a perfect product for me. It depends on the requirements of the architecture.
I have been using the solution for around five to six years as an end user.
There is always a delay in response when I try to work on the VPN. This might not be a problem with the VPN product itself, however, I must consider the speed of both the end user machine and the host machine.
Scalability depends on the licenses procured. If enough licenses are available, then it is adequate, however, it is very restricted due to the licenses. It is not scalable. Everything hinges on the VPN licenses procured for concurrent sessions.
Discussing my experience with customer communication, I can say I received good responses from them. They understood my requirements and provided the solution I was looking for in the least amount of time.
I have not used other solutions. I stopped the services with Secure about one and a half years ago.
If I am just focusing on the security and network security with basic installation configuration, it is very simple and easy for a technical engineer to configure.
I have not compared any other products with SonicWall. I have very limited knowledge about the pricing aspect.
I am curious to explore how AI, when integrated with Global VPN, works in detail. I have not faced any issues related to the Global VPN, so I am satisfied. I am not using any services from Google, Oracle, or IBM.
Most of the end users are using MS Teams for communication. This is unrelated to the consultation requirements.
The overall rating is ten out of ten.
