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."In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"It is very easy to use."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a very strong product with good support."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"Our customers find it economical and offers good security. These two features are key. Ease of installation and implementation are also key factors."
"The solution is easy to handle and configure."
"It gives us the ability to manage our firewalls from the cloud and deploy a unified configuration onto them. Other competitors like Meraki have that ability, but they fail to optimize it in the way that Sophos has."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"The stability, overall, is excellent. I haven't had a problem in the last two years."
"The features that I've known to be most valuable are both the web security features as well as the web firewall capabilities. As a partner of Sophos firewall, we have some clients and they are using Sophos firewall UTM and we are using it as well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"It is a very good product. The threat monitoring process is the most valuable feature."
"I have no problem with the cost or licensing of this solution. This is a primary reason whay I wanted this solution. It does the same thing cheaper than other name brands."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"Technical support could be faster."
"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."
"When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"Finding information about Sophos’ sizing guidelines can actually be difficult. Also, Sophos does not make it clear what they mean by “users” when you are sizing a firewall, which then leads to undersized implementations."
"There needs to be some improvement in the IPsec VPN. There is implementation only support. I have version one. I'd be most interested in having IP version two from the protocol."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The full deployment takes approximately two days which could be simplified to reduce the time. The major part of the process is the configuration and the policy setup."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"I would like them to move from the Classic Load Balancer to the Network Load Balancer. This would make it easier to do certain things with Amazon. They are able to do some enhancements with Network Load Balancer that they are unable to do with Classic Load Balancer."
"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."
"We need to speed up the support."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
