Management & Reporting
SonicWall's Management and Reporting solutions provide a comprehensive architecture for centrally managing security policies, providing real-time monitoring, and delivering compliance and usage reports.
SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM), a multi-tenant centralized firewall manager, allows you to centrally manage all firewall operations error-free by adhering to auditable workflows. Reporting and Analytics* give single-pane visibility and let you monitor and uncover threats by unifying and correlating logs across all firewalls. NSM also helps you stay compliant as it provides full audit trails of every configuration change and granular reporting. The solution scales to any size organization that manages networks with up to thousands of firewall devices deployed across many locations. NSM does it all with less effort and time.
There are 2 current products consisting of NSM Cloud and NSM On-Prem.
NSM Cloud used to include SaaS Essential & NSM SaaS Advanced, but since a version of NSM Cloud is now included with any Gen 7 or Gen 8 firewall with active support, it has been simplified with a single product called SonicWall SaaS Advanced Reporting and Analytics. The options are down to data storage duration of 7, 30, 90 or 365 days.
(NSM On-Prem requires a separate SonicWall Analytics On-Prem install and license for the reporting and analytics features).

SonicWall Analytics transforms firewall traffic data into actionable insights across users, applications and networks to help mitigate security risks with greater precision and speed - all through a single interface.

There are 2 versions of Analytics On-Prem. Choose from Syslog based or Netflow/IPFIX based.

Global Management Systems (replaced by NSM On-Prem & Analytics On-Prem)
The powerful, intuitive SonicWall Global Management System lets you rapidly deploy and centrally manage SonicWall firewall, wireless, email security, secure remote access and Dell X-Series solutions from a single console. The value of GMS centers on three core objectives. These objectives are interconnected as each leverages a common set of information, processes and technologies that help you establish and deliver a strong, federated security defense and response posture.
GMS goes End of Support on 30th September 2026
