"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"The security capabilities are okay."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"It meets our compliance needs in an elastic computer environment."
"We use Sophos UTM as our main firewall with all its features included. Mainly, it controls all of our network perimeter security: firewall, IDS/IPS, and web application firewall (including VoIP)."
"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."
"It does not take much effort or thinking to understand how it works."
"The stability of Sophos UTM is very good. The solution has been stable since Sophos took over Cyberoam which was the original company providing this solution."
"Sophos UTM's best feature is SIM in the cloud, which combines the gateway solution and endpoint solution to send telemetry data to the cloud and provides full contact visibility regarding security."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the simple-to-use interface."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"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."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"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."
"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."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"Sophos UTM could improve if there was no limitation on users."
"The support could be better."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt 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."
"Sophos UTM could be simplified, and they can improve on the many other features, like SD-WAN and load balancing. Sophos UTM is missing a few features that their competitors have. For example, if you have multiple branches you would like to connect, the load balancing features aren't available on multilink. If we create a VPM for multiple LAN links, we cannot load balance the traffic."
