I don't think you pay more for the name. Some people really like the
Sonicwall - have heard on other lists that they wish the other vendors would
use their interface.
Go figure :)

>From my experience, the Netscreens are much better than Watchguards. The
support is better, they are easier to use and I've heard nothing on
vulnerabilities (with the exception of a misconfigured trusted interface). I
originally decided to sell/ support/ install Watchguard's in all the offices
I manage. Purchased the SOHO unit, called support to discuss some of the
finer points of how to jam the thing into my offices (guinea pig). They were
miserable to talk to. Before they would talk to me, I had to register the
unit - of course, they could not register the unit as there was a problem
with the database. That went on for 2 weeks. After all was said and done, I
returned the unit as the interface was a mess.
Since then, I have installed about 2 dozen of them in small offices/ home
offices where I concentrate my practice and it's a breeze. The VPN is a few
clicks, the policies are easy to configure and the unit acts as it should.
The several times I have had to call support, I've had 1 instance where the
person had no idea what he was doing.
To this day I regret selling my Watchguard to someone as I know they are
having problems with it. I've offered $$ back and to sell the Netscreen but
they won't go for it.
This has been my experience and recommendations from other companies that
sell/ support firewalls. (Was that ok piranah? :) )

Hi,
Just a quick question... i've been reading the board for a number of months.
And i've noticed that netscreen seems to be recommended above say than
sonicwall or watchguard. Could somebody explain why netscreen is that much
better?
Thank you
