While both the SonicWall NSa 5700 and 5600 deliver some advanced features, there\u2019s a reason they stand on their own.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most part, both firewall models find a great balance for mid-range businesses. While the firewall models may seem relatively close to each other, the specs make it pretty obvious where they differ.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you can find both firewall models currently in use on the market, it\u2019ll only be a matter of time before the 5600 comes to an end.

The full scope of these SonicWall NSas is pretty extensive, but you can ease into it by starting with surface-level details.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the 5700 promises higher threat prevention throughput.
