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."Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"The reporting features are very good."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The solution's web filtering is an important feature for us in our company."
"The performance has been good overall."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"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."
"Sophos UTM's best feature is synchronized security."
"I like the web filtering options."
"Configuration troubleshooting is eased by the use of the color-coded, live firewall log."
"It is a very good product. The threat monitoring process is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The intrusion prevention is great, and I like dual virus scanning on the network layer because we scan it through Avira and Sophos. Web filtering is also a fantastic option for clients who want to really lock down internet access."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant."
"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."
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There were a lot of features and functionality in Sophos SG UTM but nothing was state of the art in terms of technology. You did not get the latest functions. It was very monolithic as it was based on an old Linux PuTTY system."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Flexibility in pricing could be improved. It's more rigid in its pricing compared to its competitor: Kaspersky."
"Sophos UTM's firewall is a bit weak, and some of its features lack depth compared to other products like F5."
"I would like to see Sophos UTM add support for all the new threat-detection technologies and the ability to respond to novel security threats that come along every day."
"In short, the UI and UX are the areas of improvement in Sophos UTM and similar solutions compared to Palo Alto."
