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."We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"We are using it as a security shield. It does not allow access before that in case we have restricted a few things from users, so it helps me in that."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"The tool is stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Our customers find it economical and offers good security. These two features are key. Ease of installation and implementation are also key factors."
"Has great security features and does a good job of protecting the network."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to administer."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"The firewall itself is very strong and provides great security."
"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 solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"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 product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"The documentation is not straightforward."
"The data support response time should be improved."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products."
"The VPN is an area that can be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be a problem for some small businesses."
"Last year, Sophos had some major internal management changes that negatively impacted their support."
"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."
"When we call support, we get put on hold for a long time."
"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."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
"We'd like to see them offer their services on mobile devices like tablets. I'm not sure if that's an option or not."
"It is a little too CPU resource intensive, so we would like to see improvements there."
"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
