"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."

"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"It isn't missing anything."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."

"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
