"The solution's web filtering is an important feature for us in our company."

"Sophos integrates seamlessly, and we don't even feel it is running in the background."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the simple-to-use interface."
"The cost of the solution is very reasonable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are application filtering and web filtering."
"Has great security features and does a good job of protecting the network."
"Sophos UTM is very user-friendly and has good integration with other solutions."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"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."
"I would like some features that are available in other brands. For example, I sometimes a person is using too much bandwidth, and it isn't easy to find this information in Sophos. Also, we have to switch connections manually when we are using a VPN and lose the MPLS connection. It isn't automatic."
"I think that additional metrics features are needed to be able to monitor other areas or to monitor as much as you can, at a fine-grain resolution."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"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."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
"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."
"We would like to have unique viewable IDs for rules and in the packet filter logfile, for easier debugging of old log files."
"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
