I cannot fully assess the Secure SD-WAN capabilities of SonicWall NSSP as I have recently implemented SonicWall SD-WAN on a recent project for better performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. SonicWall NSSP Zero Trust model is important as it requires user authentication, authorization, and continuous verification, which is why the Zero Trust model is necessary. I use metrics such as Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) and RTDMI technology to evaluate SonicWall NSSP Advanced Breach Detection, along with encrypted traffic inspection using DPI-SSL and TLS inspections for malware and exploit detection for IPS anti-malware. Unknown and zero-day detection utilizes the Capture ATP Sandbox, and memory-level threat analysis uses RTDMI, with cross-layer visibility supported by Capture Client and XDR. Regarding pricing of SonicWall NSSP, I find it reasonable and average, though pricing varies among different models. While it may not be an issue for SMB cases, enterprise customers are more concerned about prices, especially when purchasing higher-end boxes. I rate this review a nine out of ten.

We are still working with SonicWall NSSP. When considering the technical support, product features, and price, I would rate it nine out of ten. My overall rating for this solution is 9 out of 10.
We only implement on-premises solutions. I use SonicWall NSSP at my home as well. I am still the owner of my company. Based on my experience, I rate SonicWall NSSP a 10 out of 10.
For those looking into using SonicWall NSSP, ensure to read the terms and conditions thoroughly before proceeding with installation. Users should not proceed blindly by clicking next without understanding the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
SonicWall is highly regarded in the SMB market. For larger enterprises, vendors like Palo Alto or Fortinet are preferred. Overall, I rate it a seven out of ten.

Palo Alto has many more advanced features with respect to the new edge security. They also have multiple integrations within the market with various other products. Their analytics feature is also better. It is a stable platform in the industry. They have a great firewall that you should look at when you want to protect your perimeter. I rate the overall solution a five out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. I would advise others to look at the sizing they want and choose accordingly. I would rate SonicWall NSSP an eight out of ten.
It is definitely a good fit for small to mid-size companies. I am always a little hesitant to say large companies because they may have a few different requirements because they're large enough. That's where you begin to differentiate between the firewalls or some of those features that are there in one but might not be there in other ones, but I would always consider it. I would even consider it for a large company, but when you compare it with Fortinet or some of the other firewalls that are geared towards big companies, you can start seeing where they might be lacking a feature or two. I am not even sure if those features are the key critical requirements, but that's where it starts to fall down. I would rate SonicWall NSSP a nine out of ten. I am not implementing it for a large company, but it meets all of our needs very well.
