Peplink SpeedFusion vs SonicWall SMA comparison

"I have been using Peplink SpeedFusion for more than ten years."

"It allowed us to be able to use both ISP connections at pretty much double the bandwidth, and it also provided us the high availability because if one ISP goes down, it is usually transparent so the users don't notice."

"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."

"It is a very stable product."

"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."

"The solution has four key features, that maybe the other competitors don't have yet."

"I like the load balancing capability."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is they have IT consultants that know SonicWall."

"The performance is good."

"The product is extremely flexible, the program is easy to use, the performance is good, and the solution is very stable."

"I am very satisfied with the technical support."

"The SonicWall SSL-VPN solution offers the best protection with the least effect on services."

"These are very nice appliances and they give us all that we need for our work in the hospital."

"Secure remote access is now available from home offices."

"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."

"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."

"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved."

"Some of the partners, especially in the Middle East, are not fine."

"A disadvantage for Peplink maybe the features are not as strong as those of their competitors."

"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."

"The user interface could be improved."

"The only thing that they could try to improve is the support for enterprise customers."

"The only thing that they could try to improve is the support for enterprise customers. Normally enterprises and SMBs can create a ticket, but for enterprises, SonicWall SMA needs to provide a global view, and this is what's currently missing. It's not even a question of timing. It's a question of the global vision because currently, it's lacking. They concentrate on the topic, but not on the means and not on the global picture. In most cases, there's something wrong with the integration of SonicWall SMA with other products, so that could also be improved."

"This is an expensive solution and I think that the price could be improved."

"SonicWall's reporting isn't good. Reports should be part of a data plan."

"I'd like to see the product maybe polish keyboards in Bookmark."

"The solution could integrate better with other platforms."

"The overall menu is not very user-friendly and it could be easier."

"It has lifetime licensing. Its pricing is high for most of the markets."

"I rate Peplink SpeedFusion's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost is in the middle, a five out of ten."

"Perpetual licensing, which is good for customers that don't want any annual or subscription based license."

"It's not cheap, but it is highly competitive."

"Its licensing fee is on a yearly basis. For the price, it is actually pretty good value."

"The cost of the licensing is based on the maximum number of concurrent users, and it costs a lot to add them."

"All the costs are included in a bundled license."

"The platform has medium pricing."

"I don't know about the pricing of the SSL-VPN box. I know the SSL-VPN software is free. Global VPN client, by comparison, is licensed for around $150 or something like that. But the SSL-VPN software is free. It is already built-in with the box."

"Our licenses are stackable and can be anywhere from five users to a million users."

"This solution is priced well and we currently have the maximum number of licenses allowed."
