We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Sophos Cyberoam 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."The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ability to work in proxy mode, which other solutions, such as Palo Alto cannot. There are some features that are better that come at no extra license or subscriptions cost, such as basic SD-WAN. The DLT is useful, other solutions have the same feature too, such as Palo Alto."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"The user interface is good."
"CLI: Junos CLI is very easy to use, and it is also very easy to find back items in the configuration and to change them."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"The most valuable features are the firewall section, the VPN, and how you control live users."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"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."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection."
"We consider the user level and control features of Sophos Cyberoam UTM to be the best."
"The tool is stable."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"Sometimes committing configurations takes a lot of time in Juniper because of the connections, and it could be a little bit faster."
"The capacity can be limiting. We have outgrown its capacity. You can only scale up to a certain extent, depending on the device purchased."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"The product’s pricing has increased by approximately 45% in four months. This particular area needs improvement."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
