Re: Sonicwall or Watchguard

I can't speak from an administration standpoint, but from a user standpoint, my company's Watchguard sucks.

It requires a reboot to update rules (from what I understand they are running it on linux, so this really makes little sense.) And the "VPN" solution is really false advertising. It just opens up a hole in your firewall. If you are using any sort of NAT, you have now opened up a whole in your firewall for all the other users behind that nat to get in.

Hi,

I'm looking for a firewall solution for one of my clients, I've been
pointed towards both the Watchguard and Sonicwall products.  Both seem
to fit the bill in function and price, but from what little I know I can
see pro's and con's of both product ranges but I can't find any direct
comparisons.  Just wondering if anyone could provide any further input
on which direction I should go it?

Thanks
