"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 most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"User and network policies to be managed on a single screen with powerful filtering and search options."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"The most valuable feature is the IPSec forwarding."
"Sophos UTM's best feature is synchronized security."
"Sophos UTM is very user-friendly and has good integration with other solutions."
"The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis"
"We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"UTM 9 brings along IPSec as well as iPhone and iPad support. This seems small but it’s useful."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"They are all good, but most-used are Network Protection and Web Filtering."
"Sometimes, during part of the configuration, if you don't have a lot of technical knowledge, then you may struggle a bit to configure it."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"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."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"We would like to have unique viewable IDs for rules and in the packet filter logfile, for easier debugging of old log files."
"In short, the UI and UX are the areas of improvement in Sophos UTM and similar solutions compared to Palo Alto."

"Updates come out agonizingly slowly, a trickle."
"We need a better VPN client for the customers."
"The solution is not scalable."
"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."
