We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Sophos Cyberoam UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance is good."
"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"The product offers very good security."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"If an employee tries to get or move a file that is not permitted to them - for example if he wants to copy it to a USB - he will not have the right to do that, because Barracuda manages who has the right to copy, and what you copy to a USB. The USB is encrypted with a specific code from Barracuda and will only be decrypted into any other laptop in the company if they allow it to see it."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"The features I find most valuable is the VPN and the fact that we can apply our policies to the program."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"They have a very responsive customer service and support team."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"I like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"I like Sophos Cyberoam UTM as a security component or device for organizations. Performance-wise, it's a satisfactory solution, and it works okay. It also has good features."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"There is room for improvement in performance and the support language. The support they're providing right now is from a different country, and in our country, there are people—network admins and IT heads—who don't speak English properly. So Barracuda needs to provide support agents who speak additional languages, such as Bangla."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"The documentation is not straightforward."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
"There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
