SonicWall TZ270 Gen7 Firewall | Compact SMB Security Appliance with 2 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 750 Mbps Threat Prevention, Up to 64 VLANs, and SD-WAN Capability (02-SSC-2821)

I've been deploying Sonicwall devices for years - since 2002. They either age out or, back in the early 00's their power supply would crap out. My client base are attorneys and benefit from the site-to-site VPNs and, although not as much as before, still VPNs are in use where there are still onsite servers in play. Firewall snobs scoff at these devices, and have their valid criticisms, but given the limited requirements I have and the limited budget and the infrequency with which I deploy them for my relatively small client base and my resultant inability to remember Cisco OS commands, these fit the bill JUST FINE. I've never cussed out these firewalls or the company late at night solving problems, which is the best testament I could offer for any gear. Competing SMB products crap out presumably because of cheap capacitors but these take the licking and keep on ... uh... firewalling.

I have been using Sonicwall for a looong time now. Uptime is incredible, full of features and setup is relatively easy.

The setup was fairly easy, but the initial instructions were a bit confusing.

Worked really well. Good value!

It makes a good deal of difference who you purchase your equipment from. SonicWall TZ270 Network Security Appliance is a solid piece of equipment. The corporate SonicWALL tech support is based in India and consists of "script readers" that have no idea about how the equipment operates. Additionally, SonicWall requires that even to get diagnostic help on newly purchased equipment; you have to subscribe to a service. I have a doctorate in computer systems management and over 20 years as a CTO (now retired). I know when equipment is not operating correctly. I purposely purchased the equipment from BlueAlly through Amazon Marketplace. A delightful and competent BlueAlly Customer Service representative is was able to do get a resolution started with one phone call. Be sure you research your vendor.

Sonic wall is very robust in terms of a firewall. There is a bit of a learning curve, especially if you are a novice IT person. But once it's in, it's very effective.

We have used Sonicwall products for 15+ years, and this is another great product. Comes with firmware 7.0, so it looks totally different than the previous versions. Good hardware for the price, will be buying more in the future.

Documentation is useless. Customer support is nonexistent. It is not even intuitive as to how to use. I've had it over a week, I THINK it's set up to use, but there's no way to check. This may be the best physical firewall device there is, but it's useless if you can't get the GD thing to work Do not buy, find one that is more user friendly
