Pros: compatibility, Fast/Speed, features, high quality, performs well, reliability, value for money
Was interested in getting a firewall that had both VPN tunnel capability, as well as remote user VPN from anywhere with a Mac. Most less expensive firewalls only offer a solution for Windows. The included SSL VPN was a very simple solution for both platforms. Tunnel between a Watchguard and Sonicwall TZ170 works great, once you find the right settings.
Nice features all around, and easy to use firewall policies make is easy to completely lock down your router, so only those ports you want to use (in and out) get opened. Using the optional network for "guest" use of one of my WAP's works great, though I was hoping for more capabilities when routing between the trusted and optional networks. For that type of application, a Sonicwall might be more friendly.
All in all, for the price I got everything I was looking for. Some day all these intrusion prevention companies might offer more reasonable annual maintenance (Live Security) contracts. Way too expensive to pay for that.
