I had some very bad experiences with SonicWall and their service/ support. For one thing their basic content filter package was useless because it did not block proxy sites. They expected us to pay hundreds more a year for their premium filter package just to get the functionality of their basic package to work. Discussions with customer service/tech support fell on deaf ears. There were heated discussions on the forum (everyone was fed up with SonicWall) but SonicWall wouldn't budge. We got a little response from them when I suggested to the forum that perhaps this topic would be a good start for a class action lawsuit. I was using one of their lowest end products at the time so maybe they give better support for their higher end products. However I would never use SonicWall again. There's many other competitors out there. There's a few products which I don't recall the name of but they're specifically geared to scholastic/library settings.
For our filtering needs we switched to Untangle. Another we used and liked was Astaro.
