"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."

"The blocking needs to be improved."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
"It is not a scalable product. This is because if you want to increase the capacity of the solution, then you have to change the device."

"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
