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."We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"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."
"The reporting features are very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The performance has been good overall."
"The tool's robust features allow for the customization of policies, objects, and firewall settings."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"It meets our compliance needs in an elastic computer environment."
"Has great security features and does a good job of protecting the network."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to administer."
"The scalability is good."
"If a computer does get infected the Sophos appliance lets us know via it's Advanced Threat Protection so we can get a much faster response time."
"Scaling out cannot be easier, as there are many migration paths."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"It isn't missing anything."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products."
"The product’s pricing has increased by approximately 45% in four months. This particular area needs improvement."
"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 product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"The solution's technical support for India needs to be improved."
"The ease of use could be a bit better."
"The only time we face a problem or issues is when we place a ticket. We have found that response is very slow."
"With Sophos UTM, there is a general rule in the firewall when the country blocking can block some countries from accessing your data. In the current version, you still need to add it by putting in the IP range. This feature would be helpful for administrators and it gives them the advantage to block stuff in less time."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"I would like to see the SD-WAN feature improved."
