On another front, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a new SonicWall NSa 4600, as they\u2019ve been discontinued in light of the NSa 4700.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firewall manufacturers tend to dish out new models every three to five years for several reasons.

When it comes to the comparisons, a lot of this comes down to particular specs. Taking a look at the 4700, you\u2019re guaranteed high-performance network security with longevity in mind. It\u2019s also considered a mid-range solution, making it a great option for growing businesses at various stages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the NSa 4600 is still part of the same <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/sonicwall-tz-vs-nsa-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">series of firewalls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but the lengths of its specs are a bit more limited.
