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."The reporting features are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"The most valuable feature is ransomware protection."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are application filtering and web filtering."
"The solution is easy to handle and configure."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It gives us the ability to manage our firewalls from the cloud and deploy a unified configuration onto them. Other competitors like Meraki have that ability, but they fail to optimize it in the way that Sophos has."
"Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"The data support response time should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
"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 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 management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"There is absolutely no support when using AWS. If you buy the on-premise Sophos solution, you get support."
