We performed a comparison between Sophos Cyberoam UTM and Sophos UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"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)."
"The most valuable feature is the price. I've been requesting prices all over these years between different solutions like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Check Point and Sophos has been the cheapest and the best of all of them that I have tried. I have been working with Fortinet, it's a fact that the price is surprisingly better."
"It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website."
"The most valuable feature is ransomware protection."
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"The scalability is good."
"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 most valuable feature is the IPS. It also protects us from malware."
"There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"VPN configuration is not very swift."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"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."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
"As it stands right now, when we have an internet failure on WAN1, it takes several minutes before our WAN2 connection picks up the traffic"
"I would like to see the SD-WAN feature improved."
"An area for improvement in Sophos UTM is load balancing because my company cannot use it currently. If Sophos could release a new configuration for the load balancing feature to work for my company, that would be great."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"We didn’t find any issues but I know there have been some in the last few years."
"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."
"There is still room for improvement in wireless protection. I don't mean their WiFi device is bad, but there are still things to improve on, such as WiFi roaming."
