SonicWall Email Security Appliance Review
Rating: 4 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
SonicWall Email Security Appliances are used to provide security measures beyond what is built into Exchange for our organizations. Using a third-party tool it blocks malicious email BEFORE it reaches our servers, preventing the storage of malicious and junk files. These appliances have greatly reduced junk and threats from our users' mailboxes.
Pros
- Centralized management
- Reasonably priced
- Robust reporting capabilities
Cons
- Manufacturer is focused on several solutions (so likely not enough focus in one area)
- Not the most cost effective solution
Likelihood to Recommend
While this solution is capable of managing a smaller environment, I'm weary to install it into a larger customers' environment. This solution does a decent job of basic email security and centrally managed controls. Hardware upgrade options seem limited though if adding a lot more email boxes. Retention options are limited compared to other products.
