Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos."
"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"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 solution has good load balancers."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The performance has been good overall."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"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 stability of Sophos UTM is very good. The solution has been stable since Sophos took over Cyberoam which was the original company providing this solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It has made our organization more secure, because we are using a VPN. We are not accessing services directly. It allows us to segregate some of the traffic for individuals which may be more of a developer role rather than an operational role needing access to developer resources, but not necessarily production operational resources."
"Has great security features and does a good job of protecting the network."
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The implementation policy needs improvment."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"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."
"We need to speed up the support."
"I would like some features that are available in other brands. For example, I sometimes a person is using too much bandwidth, and it isn't easy to find this information in Sophos. Also, we have to switch connections manually when we are using a VPN and lose the MPLS connection. It isn't automatic."
"An area for improvement in Sophos UTM is load balancing because my company cannot use it currently. If Sophos could release a new configuration for the load balancing feature to work for my company, that would be great."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"The memory and processing were problematic. The interface could be better."
