Not being a huge fan of modern Mustangs, the Saleen (as opposed to saline) 
doesn't impress me much.

I do like the analogy, though!

 

Either way, poor deployment planning and worse management will render them both 
junkyard dogs in no time.

Tom has a great blog on how not to blame your firewall when it gets "slow", 
though I can't seem to locate it today...

An analogy, ISA is like a Saleen S7 sports car while Sonicwall is like a Chevy 
Corvette.

 

Both are sports cars, both go fast and make lots of impressions, but the Saleen 
S7 does it with class, finesse and fine attention to every last detail.

 

Sonicwall uses a ½" wide brush to clear the dust in packets looking for 
problems. ISA uses a modeler's 0000 size brush.

 

With ISA you can securely publish websites, including securing the connection 
between the web server and ISA. With Sonicwall it is an allow rule.

 

With ISA you can quarantine wireless connections. With Sonicwall it is an allow 
rule.

 

I am sure the Good Doctor and the Honorable Jim among others will be able to 
come up with more compelling reasons.

Hello List,

The Boss is looking to replace our ISA Server 2004 with a SonicWall. Will 
someone please give me enough information about this comparison that I can 
convince him to keep ISA!

Thank you,
Barbara
