"The tool is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's interface is user-friendly, and the web protection is good. The tool is highly stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is good. We chose Sophos Cyberoam UTM because their focus on security research is higher compared to other brands. It's an all-in-one solution with antivirus, EDR, wireless protection, and web protection integrated into one box. The initial setup was straightforward."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"User and network policies to be managed on a single screen with powerful filtering and search options."
"It helps us with protection, with concurrent use of the VPN."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Configuration troubleshooting is eased by the use of the color-coded, live firewall log."
"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."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
"This is a very stable product."
"What I like about Sophos UTM is that it improves my company's security. The solution is easy to set up, which I like, and it's very stable."
"I would recommend UTM over XG because it's easier to manage."
"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
"Technical support could be faster."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Sophos UTM could improve if there was no limitation on users."
"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."
"The support could be better."
"We had some problems with the configuration. They had provided a CloudFormation template, and we had to go several rounds to make it work."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"There were a lot of features and functionality in Sophos SG UTM but nothing was state of the art in terms of technology. You did not get the latest functions. It was very monolithic as it was based on an old Linux PuTTY system."
