The SonicWALL line of products are priced pretty well and they are pretty powerful, so I think it would work very well for small and medium sized organizations. Larger organizations may want something with more ports or a solution that matches the rest of their network (for example Cisco ASA), so that the complexity of having different product lines is removed. But for the most part we are very happy with the Dell SonicWALL line for our multiple hospital network.

Alternatives Considered
Barracuda owns this space as far as I am concerned. SonicWall has very robust firewalls, but their other offerings are a little behind times compared to Barracuda. SonicWall also seems to be a lot more expensive than other alternatives. Barracuda offers a 4-year hardware refresh cycle whereas SonicWall does not.
