"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Technical support is excellent."
"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to administer."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"Sophos UTM has improved the porting section. It has improved security by seeing the gaps. For example, when you discover that an entry has been using a certain application, with Sophos UTM acting as a Layer 7 firewall, you can block the application, not the port."
"I like the web filtering options."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"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."
"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"Initially, there were issues with the wireless network as wireless access points were disappearing from the dashboard after some time."
"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 solution needs better integration with captive portals and XGs."
"Stay away from the wireless models, since you cannot put them in HA. They start to give you some weird issues once you start getting into multiple SSIDs and networks."
"The pricing is an issue."
