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."Bandwidth Management and aggregation. It is valuable for combining two ISPs. Switching to a secondary/redundant ISP is thus seamless, in the event that the primary ISP goes down. The Bandwidth Management is also valuable for limiting heavy downloaders that may impact negatively on the experience of other users."
"The solution has good load balancers."
"There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"It meets our compliance needs in an elastic computer environment."
"It is easy to manage."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is reporting, it is flexible. I can monitor the end user's devices, even when they are not on my network. It has good drill-down capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the price. I've been requesting prices all over these years between different solutions like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Check Point and Sophos has been the cheapest and the best of all of them that I have tried. I have been working with Fortinet, it's a fact that the price is surprisingly better."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to administer."
"The solution can scale."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of 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 configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"What needs improvement in Sophos Cyberoam UTM is openness in the competition among Sophos partners or any other Sophos product. Another area for improvement in the solution is pricing. It could be cheaper."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"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."
"VPN configuration is not very swift."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
"Flexibility in pricing could be improved. It's more rigid in its pricing compared to its competitor: Kaspersky."
"The five-factor authentication needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We didn’t find any issues but I know there have been some in the last few years."
"We had some problems with the configuration. They had provided a CloudFormation template, and we had to go several rounds to make it work."
