"It performs very well."
"I wanted to go to a software-defined WAN and in Barracuda they have a specific protocol called TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture). You can create a master policy over the internet and it allows you to do Quality of Services on top of it. That is really helpful for me."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."

We chose Sophos Cyberoam UTM because their focus on security research is higher compared to other brands. It's an all-in-one solution with antivirus, EDR, wireless protection, and web protection integrated into one box. The initial setup was straightforward."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"What needs improvement in Sophos Cyberoam UTM is openness in the competition among Sophos partners or any other Sophos product. Another area for improvement in the solution is pricing. It could be cheaper."
"The VPN is an area that can be improved."
"It isn't missing anything."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
