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."Technical support is excellent."
"It has been working fine. You just turn it on, and it works."
"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."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The tool's robust features allow for the customization of policies, objects, and firewall settings."
"The tool is stable."
"It now controls all the security aspects of our web servers with Sophos UTM WAF."
"It is not an easy task to protect your web servers from the big bad internet. The Web Server Protection in this solution does it elegantly and, if configured correctly, even hides the server's base system from prying eyes."
"The features that I've known to be most valuable are both the web security features as well as the web firewall capabilities. As a partner of Sophos firewall, we have some clients and they are using Sophos firewall UTM and we are using it as well."
"So far, the solution has been problem-free."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"Scaling out cannot be easier, as there are many migration paths."
"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."
"The solution's pricing could be a problem for some small businesses."
"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 fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see a better content management pack and also the website searching should be better."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"They could use more SSL VPN support."
"When we call support, we get put on hold for a long time."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"The reporting could be a lot better."
"I didn't like it much. It suits only small businesses. It isn't scalable and reliable. There is a very critical issue with the power supply."
"The documentation during the AWS integration was a little fuzzy on getting it to work with how the whole public exposure versus private exposure, then routing some of the traffic."
"There is still room for improvement in wireless protection. I don't mean their WiFi device is bad, but there are still things to improve on, such as WiFi roaming."
"I think that additional metrics features are needed to be able to monitor other areas or to monitor as much as you can, at a fine-grain resolution."
