We would like to get some comments about Sonicwall firewall products. &nbsp;We sell and support Sonicwall and have been pleased with their products. &nbsp;We've had a few problems, such as OS bugs but overall, we think they offer a good firewall solution, which is secure, provides a broad range of protection options, and is fairly easy to manage. &nbsp;We understand that a few years ago they had various issues which caused a lot of technicians downplay their use because &quot;they are no good&quot;, &quot;they aren't reliable&quot;, etc. &nbsp;We need some current feedback from users and resellers who are happy or not happy with their current product line. &nbsp;Specific examples would be appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks!

Sonicwall Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
