SonicWall's E7500 rises above the competition by excelling at the two aspects of UTM performance that matter most. First, its protection capabilities are top notch, with configuration and administration features that make it easy to tailor protection to your specific needs. Next, its network performance is simply unreal for a product in this category. If you have a network slowdown, look somewhere else for the cause -- the E7500 is likely to be the highest-performing component on nearly any small business network in which it's deployed.
