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."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."

"There's an issue that when we deploy UTM on fiber, it automatically upgrades to the latest version without giving an option to stay on the current one."
"The only time we face a problem or issues is when we place a ticket. We have found that response is very slow."
