We use SonicWall’s Content Filtering, Gateway, and IPS security tools. Most solutions have similar features. When we deployed the tool in our organization, it had all the technical functionality we needed. It is still relevant and fits our requirements. Currently, we are on Azure. Before, we had an on-premises setup. We were using VMware for our on-premises setup. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I recommend thorough planning before deploying the solution. This involves creating a detailed implementation plan, identifying and documenting all necessary rules, and understanding the ports that must be open. Due to the specificity of rules in SonicWall, meticulous planning is crucial. It is advisable to maintain a notebook to avoid creating confusion or errors during the deployment process. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
SonicWall NSV has a user-friendly configuration. SonicWall NSV is more suited for the SMB (small and medium-sized business) segment. Overall, I rate SonicWall NSV a five out of ten.

SonicWall NSV is a good solution on-premise, with no additional charges. We have load balancing in the SonicWall NSV. Different solutions are coming into the market. It will be good if operations happen offline since there won't be any downtime, and it will help the business run continuously. When people start working from home, and the number of users increases, we can go with the cloud firewall, which gives double security. Overall, I rate SonicWall NSV a ten out of ten.
I recommend Sophos because I have several issues with SonicWall. Even though we had some issues, we still believe SonicWall is a good solution. I would rate SonicWall NSV an eight out of ten.
I have used FireEye in conjunction with this product and it was great. My advice for anybody who is considering SonicWall NSV is to look at what environment they came from, especially if it was Cisco, and compare the two of them. They need to be prepared for what they may give up. For example, compared to Cisco, reporting is better than it is in SonicWall. Essentially, you have to find out what you're going to give up for the money you're going to save. Once that is determined and you weigh the pros and cons, including how important what you're giving up is, you can decide. It is important to remember that as far as security and stability go, you're not giving up anything. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Firewalls serve as a crucial line of defense against cyber threats by monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic.
Firewalls analyze network traffic based on pre-defined security rules to block unauthorized access, providing a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks. They are essential for organizations seeking to protect their digital assets.
