We performed a comparison between Sophos Cyberoam UTM and Sophos UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"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 initial setup was straightforward."
"All in one UTM appliance."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"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."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"I like the web filtering options."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"What I like about Sophos UTM is that it improves my company's security. The solution is easy to set up, which I like, and it's very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"Has great security features and does a good job of protecting the network."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"I have problems with the email filtering. Emails pass through without any filtering affecting them. When I get back to them and tell them this is the issue, they check everything and say it is not in their database signature and they have to update it. But you know, by that time, my user has already opened it."
"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."
"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 price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"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 reporting could improve by providing information on where, or from which device attacks are coming from. We are already given the country where the attack is coming from but more information would be beneficial."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"Sophos UTM could be simplified, and they can improve on the many other features, like SD-WAN and load balancing. Sophos UTM is missing a few features that their competitors have. For example, if you have multiple branches you would like to connect, the load balancing features aren't available on multilink. If we create a VPM for multiple LAN links, we cannot load balance the traffic."
"The solution's technical support for India needs to be improved."
"It is a pretty straightforward setup, but it should be some sort of documentation that takes you step-by-step to help set it up for your VPC."
"In Sophos UTM there is always a problem with the routing tables. If you want to see the routing table, you have to use the UI. You can't do it via a web browser. The routing table is better in Fortinet."
"They could use more SSL VPN support."
