"Installing Sophos UTM is straightforward. The deployment itself doesn't take long, but you have to spend some time planning and waiting for the hardware to be delivered."
"Sophos is a unified solution. We have anti-virus protection, firewall rules, knotting, and DACC all in one box."

"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."

"There were a lot of features and functionality in Sophos SG UTM but nothing was state of the art in terms of technology. You did not get the latest functions. It was very monolithic as it was based on an old Linux PuTTY system."
"I would like this solution to support ICAP. Also, they no longer support on-premises management, and are forcing clients to use centralized management via the cloud, which I don't agree with."
"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
