"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The solution's interface is user-friendly, and the web protection is good. The tool is highly stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is good. 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."
"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."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The security capabilities are okay."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."

"Sophos SG UTM had all the basic functionality that you needed. It is user-friendly and easy to manage for any integrator."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"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 have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"The VPN is an area that can be improved."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"The technical support team’s response time could be improved."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"It does have built-in policies, which enable you to disable USB devices, etc. It would be nice if they had more policies because there are not that many of them."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"There needs to be some improvement in the IPsec VPN. There is implementation only support. I have version one. I'd be most interested in having IP version two from the protocol."
"Sophos UTM sometimes falls short in high-availability environments. They used to launch firmware that didn't work very well in a high-availability environment."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
