SonicwallTZ370

Happy with purchase

My previous firewall was limiting my bandwidth and I wanted more ports. This was the perfect match for my needs at a reasonable price

I have been buying and supporting SonicWALL since before they were bought by Dell and then sold back to SOnicWALL. I set up STS VPNs regularly. This one was one of several connected to a NSA3600. It does not work! No configuration will work, logs are flaky on it. Searched for answers, lots of folks having issues with this new software and the STS VPN. So, called SonicWALL, they will not support their defective product unless you pay extra. This is within 24 hrs of setting it up.I have updated the firmware and then downgraded it. Still will not connect. I have intentionally misconfigured to get a log entry. That gave only one entry with an expected issue with the crypto suite.Simply put, the device is an overpriced router. It will not do the things it is sold for. I would no longer recommend buying this to my customers nor anyone else. Speaking with them, they just don't care if it works or not. This one can go back to Amazon. Time for another product that actually works.

Sonicwall is the best for expense. No issues at all.

If you can dedicate a lot of time or can pay SonicWall to help with common setup issues, maybe.The idiosyncrasies of setting this device up with "third party" equipment is a very step leaning curve, or requires continued outlay of $$$.$$ for support. SonicWall has technical papers, a knowledge database and videos but they are almost entirely dedicated to using other SonicWall devices, not "third party". They offer ZERO initial support, that will cost you extra $$$.$$. I don't think it's a common use case to have a network with all a single vendors equipment. If you cannot work with other vendor devices with some setup, it's a limited application case. It would be okay if they had a few video tutorials on say setting up another vendor's wireless access, or another vendors managed device. You could learn from this and apply to other cases. It's like they want you to buy support or replace your other devices with theirs. Not good application cases, sorry. :-(
