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."It is very easy to use."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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 like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"Advanced protection (Sophos Sandstorm) - Protects against crypto viruses in real-time."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"Sophos has a single pane of glass which allows me to manage all my VPCs from a single instance, managing all my firewall from one place."
"The initial configuration is straightforward thanks to the web GUI. In 30 minutes, you can have a running firewall with UTM protection enabled."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the efficiency and mail filtering module."
"It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website."
"The three most important features for us are web protection, web server protection, and network protection."
"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 solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"It is not a scalable product. This is because if you want to increase the capacity of the solution, then you have to change the device."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"Flexibility in pricing could be improved. It's more rigid in its pricing compared to its competitor: Kaspersky."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
"The pricing is an issue."
"There's an issue that when we deploy UTM on fiber, it automatically upgrades to the latest version without giving an option to stay on the current one."
"I would like them to move from the Classic Load Balancer to the Network Load Balancer. This would make it easier to do certain things with Amazon. They are able to do some enhancements with Network Load Balancer that they are unable to do with Classic Load Balancer."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"Support for IKEv2 is needed in this solution."
