Qualifying Questions
5.
Question: [Competitor A] has better throughput.
Answer: Many performance statistics are measured using
a number of test conditions that organizations would not
experience in the real world. It’s important to look at threat
prevention throughput and ensure that they’re measured
using real-world scenarios that your organization would
actually experience.
Question: So how does SonicWall measure up in terms of threat
prevention throughput?
Answer: Based on publicly published data by multiple competing
vendors, SonicWall’s threat prevention throughput exceeds that
of those vendors. It’s important to evaluate threat performance
with all the security features turned on.
Question: Is Gen 7 really better than my [Gen xyz]?
Answer: The short answer is yes. It’s better in terms of security
and features. It delivers a superior user experience and simpler,
single-pane-of-glass (SPOG) management. And Gen 7 firewalls
offer an industry-leading TCO.
Question: I don’t have the budget for a new firewall.
Answer: A breach could end up costing you much more –
breaches not only cost your organization more financially but
also do damage to your organization’s reputation. And as we’ve
said before, Gen 7 firewalls offer an industry-leading TCO.
