"It's a stable solution."
"Configuration could not be made any easier."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"The packet filtering's great. You get out what you put into it. It works great as long as you know your security and configure everything adequately. If you just pop one in and it's not configured, then it's basically wide open. It kind of depends on the admin skill, but it's an excellent product."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to administer."
"The isolation of infected machines is a big feature. Also, the ability to detect external sources that change files on a file server is really big."
"Sophos UTM provides security for our network here and access through a VPN connection for our remote users. It also offers the flexibility to create different tools for accessibility."
"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."
"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."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"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."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"It is a little too CPU resource intensive, so we would like to see improvements there."
"In Sophos UTM there is always a problem with the routing tables. If you want to see the routing table, you have to use the UI. You can't do it via a web browser. The routing table is better in Fortinet."
"The lack of import/export functions for network and service options drives me mad."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The ease of use could be a bit better."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
"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."
"Email spam filtering only works if you have an on-prem Exchange server. It doesn't interface with Office 365 like the XG model. That would be one feature that they could improve. They're not going to do it because they're trying to push us all to XG."
