Im on the fence still about SonicWall for SOHO. There is no way I would choose it over Check Point or Palo Alto, but for small offices, I guess I'm not opposed. It does do content filtering, which is good. I know most firewalls do, and they should at this point in the game. I have to say I have had good luck with the content filtering portion of the SonicWall. I guess I'm not sad with it. But again, for true enterprise level businesses, this is not what I would choose.
This is the retired Shane Killen personal blog, an IT technical blog about configs and topics related to the Network and Security Engineer working with Cisco, Brocade, Check Point, and Palo Alto and Sonicwall. I hope this blog serves you well. -- May The Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you, and bring you peace.
I'm on the same page as you Shane...however, I do use SonicWall for my church. And I have to say it is doing a good job. For the price, I could not beat it, plus I get content filtering and several other key features. I checked Cisco, Checkpoint and Palo Alto, but they were just too much money (except for Palo Alto, which I could never get a call back from them...guess they just want to play with the big boys).
ReplyDeleteYeah Brad, you are right. I know churches are rarely going to spend the dollars like an enterprise will. But Im sure the data at the church is going to be different than say a school or enterprise business. You know, things like credit card numbers, kids social security numbers, etc. Im sure the SonicWall is just fine for the church.
