One of the best things about SonicWall is that you can add modules, or features, as needed. It’s an a la carte approach that’s great for small to medium-sized businesses. In other words, businesses that may not need to pay for full-on enterprise level security. Nevertheless, it’s quite easy to add the modules in when you decide to.
SMB’s don’t generally assume they can afford this level of layered protection. But it’s nice to know it’s here. The SonicWall TZ500 is priced and powered into the higher-end of the SMB range.
