"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"The best feature is the flexibility the product offers, in terms of remote access. What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."

"If a computer does get infected the Sophos appliance lets us know via it's Advanced Threat Protection so we can get a much faster response time."
"It makes it a lot easier for us to maintain things. Prior to it, things were more difficult. This means less time on us. We can focus on other things. The recovery is more in man-hours for us than anything else."

"I would say there's room for improvement in terms of the GUI. Because it is better than some of the other standard firewalls. They have the drag and drop features."

"The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"In short, the UI and UX are the areas of improvement in Sophos UTM and similar solutions compared to Palo Alto."

"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"The ease of use could be a bit better."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
