We performed a comparison between Sophos UTM and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco, Sophos and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The most valuable feature is the price. I've been requesting prices all over these years between different solutions like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Check Point and Sophos has been the cheapest and the best of all of them that I have tried. I have been working with Fortinet, it's a fact that the price is surprisingly better."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
"The most valuable feature is the IPS. It also protects us from malware."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"I have no problem with the cost or licensing of this solution. This is a primary reason whay I wanted this solution. It does the same thing cheaper than other name brands."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The most valuable feature is ransomware protection."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The installation phase was easy."
"There is still room for improvement in wireless protection. I don't mean their WiFi device is bad, but there are still things to improve on, such as WiFi roaming."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Sophos UTM's firewall is a bit weak, and some of its features lack depth compared to other products like F5."
"We had some problems with the configuration. They had provided a CloudFormation template, and we had to go several rounds to make it work."
"Updates come out agonizingly slowly, a trickle."
"The reporting could improve by providing information on where, or from which device attacks are coming from. We are already given the country where the attack is coming from but more information would be beneficial."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"I would like to see the SD-WAN feature improved."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
