"Sophos is a unified solution. We have anti-virus protection, firewall rules, knotting, and DACC all in one box."
"The packet filtering's great. You get out what you put into it. It works great as long as you know your security and configure everything adequately. If you just pop one in and it's not configured, then it's basically wide open. It kind of depends on the admin skill, but it's an excellent product."

"I am going to flat out say technical support is terrible. Being a Platinum level customer, I am not happy with the support."
"The ease of use could be a bit 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 scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The application control is really bad. It needs a lot of enhancements. The traffic shaping and bandwidth control, and application control need a lot of work."
