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."User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The secure web gateway module and the application control module are valuable. HA operations are very easy."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"The user interface is good."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Performance is a strong point."
"You can scale the solution."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"Commit: You can update the whole configuration without affecting the production. The new configuration will be loaded once the command "Commit" is submitted. You can also do a Commit confirmed to automatically roll back to the previous config after X minutes."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"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."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The product is worth the investment."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"I like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"The initial setup is complex."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"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."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"JTAC (Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center) is just okay for technical assistance. However, if you are used to Cisco TAC responsiveness, you will need to adjust your expectations with Juniper Networks TAC."
"The solution could cost less. It's a bit expensive right now."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"The reporting is lacking."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"It could be more secure."
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"It is not a scalable product. This is because if you want to increase the capacity of the solution, then you have to change the device."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"Sometimes, during part of the configuration, if you don't have a lot of technical knowledge, then you may struggle a bit to configure it."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
