"You can geofence yourself if there is an incoming attack or a continuous ping from a company outside your country."
"The port forwarding is good."
"Technical support is excellent."

The Bandwidth Management is also valuable for limiting heavy downloaders that may impact negatively on the experience of other users."
"The solution is excellent for web and application filtering and remote access with the VPN."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"Sophos SG UTM had all the basic functionality that you needed. It is user-friendly and easy to manage for any integrator."
"The three most important features for us are web protection, web server protection, and network protection."
"It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules."
"It's a stable solution."
"UTM 9 brings along IPSec as well as iPhone and iPad support. This seems small but it’s useful."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"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 had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
"It isn't missing anything."

"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"Anti-phishing functionality should be improved."
"It is a pretty straightforward setup, but it should be some sort of documentation that takes you step-by-step to help set it up for your VPC."
"As it stands right now, when we have an internet failure on WAN1, it takes several minutes before our WAN2 connection picks up the traffic"
