Summary: We purchased this router about a year ago and configured it with multiple sites. It has been very stable in the year we've had it, but it has been a nightmare getting it work with the Global VPN Client. We have nothing but problems and even had to use a beta of their VPN software for it to connect properly and lease an IP from this router.
In addition, SonicWALL likes you to submit issues using their online helpdesk system. They failed to answer my questions even after a week of being posted, even though I submitted problems that required urgent resolution. When I called to follow up, I had to wait on hold a long time and several times left messages that were never returned.
In all the product did not deliver, SonicWALL cannot seem to solve basic problems, such as VPN connection issues, and their support is terrible.
Description: Today's highly connected organizations move vast amounts of critical data across extensive, often complex network deployments. The value of this data is extraordinary - as is the need to move it quickly, reliably and securely. To maintain and safeguard business continuity, network administrators require a solution that gives them the ability to configure their network architecture to meet the needs of their organization, while continuing to deliver advanced features and powerful performance tailored for fast-moving network environments. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 is part of SonicWALL's PRO Series, delivering complete business continuity for small to mid-sized networks. With integrated support for SonicWALL's Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, the PRO 2040 provides real-time protection against viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans and other malicious threats. The PRO 2040 also combines built-in anti-spam protection and support for SonicWALL's Content Filtering Service to provide enhanced productivity and network utilization. Powered by SonicWALL's next-generation SonicOS operating system and a high-performance hardware architecture, the PRO 2040 delivers business-class firewall throughput and VPN concentration. Outstanding price/value features make the PRO 2040 the ideal solution for businesses that need rock solid network protection coupled with fast, secure VPN access for remote employees. Available as an optional upgrade for the PRO 2040, SonicWALL's feature-rich SonicOS Enhanced operating system provides a suite of configuration flexibility and redundancy features typically associated with more expensive appliances, including ISP Failover, WAN Redundancy, Load Balancing, Object-based Management, Policy-based NAT and more. In addition, upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced activates a fourth, user-defined 10/100 Ethernet interface that can be custom-configured either as a second WAN, a second LAN, a DMZ, another customized security zone or as a Hardware Failover port, ensuring continuous network uptime. With its innovative Web interface, the PRO 2040 is the ultimate choice for small-to-mid-sized networks requiring robust internal and external security, network configuration flexibility and ease of use.
