These firewalls to everything that I need them to. There isn't a situation where I don't see myself putting in a Sonicwall.

Dislike

After a power outage, the device will come back online but sometimes the internet traffic is blocked. You have to reboot the system to get things working again.

Dislike

They are great firewalls, but do have a bit of a learning curve. Once someone gets familiar with the GUI, it doesn't take long to be able to use them to their full extent.
