I have used SonicWall's various firewall products ever since their first SOHO firewall in both home and business settings. The TZ170 is an excellent firewall with very flexible settings and offers both software and box-to-box IPSec VPN capability. from Amazon.com This product gets an A+, for ease of use and functionality. The customer service offered by Sonicwall was second to none. from Amazon.com Note: You'll have to buy the enhanced OS firmware (mucho extra cost)for the "advanced" features such as load balancing and failover. Security features are by expensive subscription and offer marginal improvements in security: IMHO they will not stop your network from being hacked anyway (however, the router will). Cons: Don’t forget that this is the lowest tier product of the Sonicwall family! As a result, it gets the updates last. from Newegg.com As it is now I have to use our remote server to dial in and access through our local server and both have to perform routing. So if-when the net drop and it will occasionally, we get dropped sessions and a few other issues. Other Thoughts: Great deal for the money, and you can purchase extra licenses for extra products, but beware that Sonicwall the great company isn't very fast moving, and very friendly unless you are sales-support distributor. from Newegg.com I went to a different VPN solution and it has worked flawlessly for almost a year now. The two units I have ended up being nothing more than very expensive Ethernet routers. I welcome any questions, but would highly recommend not using SonicWALL as a viable VPN solution. Regards, Michael VanHecke from Newegg.com I have had 2 devices from SonicWall - what everyone MUST understand is the simple fact that these devices (all from SonicWall) are only supported for 1 year after purchase. What people get angry about is that these devices go bad - they are not like your VCR/DVD player that just work - and work reliable for years to come all the time. from Amazon.com Can be configured to do exactly what you want it to do, and the configuration is easy. Upgrade to Sonic OS Enhanced allows for dual WAN connections. Cons: Limited to 10 nodes and 2 site-to-site tunnels unless upgraded to 25 or unlimited nodes (same upgrade also allows for more site-to-site VPN tunnels). Upgrades are pricey (on the bright side, you only pay for what you need). from Newegg.com The content filter is very good also. Although there are a few mis-rated sites, for the most part, the list is very accurate. The SonicWALL team is very quick to respond to your site rating review if you submit one. It is a device that allows you to control almost every part of your network traffic. from Amazon.com LOTS and LOTS of configurable options to choose from. To some, this is a MAJOR PLUS, to others with less experience, a CURSE. Cons: I "upgraded" myself from a TZ 150 to the TZ 170 as I was needing more throughput for my HIGH SPEED Internet connection. The TZ 150 is in a COOL-running all metal case, the 170 is in a WARM to the touch all plastic case. from Newegg.com Pros: I'm AMAZED at the level of security SONICWALL has provided me. I switched TO SONICWALL after repeated hackings, which although my ports are still continually being scanned, atleast I'm remaining safe. from Newegg.com
