help SonicWall NSA Series FAQ

Which businesses are SonicWall NSa firewalls designed for?

The NSa family is aimed primarily at medium-sized organizations, distributed enterprises, and data-center edges. Models vary substantially, so an NSa 2700 and a higher-end NSa appliance should not be treated as having the same throughput or connection capacity.

Does a SonicWall NSa require a security subscription?

Basic firewall and routing functions are tied to the appliance and SonicOS, but services such as intrusion prevention, malware inspection, content filtering, and support are normally licensed. Buying used hardware without checking its registration and subscription status can leave major security functions unavailable.

How many SSL VPN users can a SonicWall NSa support?

There is no single 64-user limit for the entire series. SonicWall's published limits vary by model, from hundreds of concurrent SSL VPN users on some older NSa appliances to thousands on high-end models such as the NSa 9650.

How does SonicWall NSa compare with the TZ series?

TZ appliances generally target small offices and branch locations, while NSa models provide greater connection capacity and inspected throughput for larger networks. Comparable enterprise alternatives include Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks PA-Series, and Cisco Secure Firewall.
