Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis"
"The initial setup was easy."
"It meets our compliance needs in an elastic computer environment."
"The most valuable feature is the price. I've been requesting prices all over these years between different solutions like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Check Point and Sophos has been the cheapest and the best of all of them that I have tried. I have been working with Fortinet, it's a fact that the price is surprisingly better."
"We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"Sophos has a single pane of glass which allows me to manage all my VPCs from a single instance, managing all my firewall from one place."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"We would like to have unique viewable IDs for rules and in the packet filter logfile, for easier debugging of old log files."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"The only time we face a problem or issues is when we place a ticket. We have found that response is very slow."
"We didn’t find any issues but I know there have been some in the last few years."
"Finding information about Sophos’ sizing guidelines can actually be difficult. Also, Sophos does not make it clear what they mean by “users” when you are sizing a firewall, which then leads to undersized implementations."
"The interface configuration could be improved."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"It is an expensive solution."
