"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."
"User and network policies to be managed on a single screen with powerful filtering and search options."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"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 features that I've known to be most valuable are both the web security features as well as the web firewall capabilities. As a partner of Sophos firewall, we have some clients and they are using Sophos firewall UTM and we are using it as well."
"It works well without any maintenance. So far, it has worked pretty well regardless of the traffic."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"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."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"The implementation policy needs improvment."
"I would like them to move from the Classic Load Balancer to the Network Load Balancer. This would make it easier to do certain things with Amazon. They are able to do some enhancements with Network Load Balancer that they are unable to do with Classic Load Balancer."
"The reporting could improve by providing information on where, or from which device attacks are coming from. We are already given the country where the attack is coming from but more information would be beneficial."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Sophos customer support could use some improvement."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"The ease of use could be a bit better."
"We'd like to see them offer their services on mobile devices like tablets. I'm not sure if that's an option or not."
