Re: Sonicwall

Pankaj,

The SonicWALL products I have used have been pretty good, easy to setup and manage with a fairly obvious GUI.
The bundled AV by McAffee is also good, however getting the damn thing installed on client machines (Windows XP) can be 
a big pain in the butt.
Other than that, it gets a reasonable thumbs up - mind you I do prefer Trend :-)

Best Regards

Gethin
