SonicWall vs
Palo Alto Networks

SonicWall firewalls win the competition against Palo Alto Networks as a fully integrated network, cloud and wireless solution. As a result, you gain seamless protection and simplified management throughout your entire network environment from SonicWall, with a lower total cost of ownership.

Certified Higher Performance and Lower Cost

When an independent testing firm compared SonicWall firewalls with those from Palo Alto Networks, they found that Palo Alto’s total three-year cost of ownership is almost four times the cost of SonicWall ($192K vs. $692K). This is remarkable considering that SonicWall’s NSsp 13700 has a threat prevention throughput almost twice Palo Alto’s comparable system (45.5 Gbps vs. 23.0 Gbps).

SonicWall firewalls have perfect scores for detection with zero false positives from ICSA Labs Anti-Malware and Advanced Threat Defense certification programs. So that means when we say our firewalls have a high-security effectiveness rating, we have the proof.

SonicWall Better on Every Level

100% Detection Rate with No False Positives

SonicWall's Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service includes patented RTDMI™ technology that catches more malware, and with greater speed and accuracy, than older behavior-based sandboxing methods used by most other firewalls. In the fourth quarterly test in a row conducted by ICSA Labs ATD certification evaluation, SonicWall firewalls equipped with Capture ATP caught 100% of malware, including previously unknown variants, with no false positives.
