"The most valuable feature is the IPS. It also protects us from malware."
"It allows me to easily connect with more than forty-five remote sites and more than fifty remote users between IPsec and SSL VPN, applying the web filter and application filter to ensure a secure connection."
"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 management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"It now controls all the security aspects of our web servers with Sophos UTM WAF."
"Sophos UTM provides security for our network here and access through a VPN connection for our remote users. It also offers the flexibility to create different tools for accessibility."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"It has made our organization more secure, because we are using a VPN. We are not accessing services directly. It allows us to segregate some of the traffic for individuals which may be more of a developer role rather than an operational role needing access to developer resources, but not necessarily production operational resources."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"I would say there's room for improvement in terms of the GUI. Because it is better than some of the other standard firewalls. They have the drag and drop features."
"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."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"The solution could be improved by adding cloud soundboxing."
"Email spam filtering only works if you have an on-prem Exchange server. It doesn't interface with Office 365 like the XG model. That would be one feature that they could improve. They're not going to do it because they're trying to push us all to XG."
"They could reduce the price."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"The support could be better."
"Sophos UTM could improve the way the configuration has to be done. I have to do the configuration through the command line interface but if it could be done through the graphical user interface it would be much better."
"The pricing is an issue."
