Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website."
"Technical support is very responsive."
"We use Sophos UTM as our main firewall with all its features included. Mainly, it controls all of our network perimeter security: firewall, IDS/IPS, and web application firewall (including VoIP)."
"Sophos UTM is very user-friendly and has good integration with other solutions."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The solution is scalable."
"So far, the solution has been problem-free."
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The solution can scale."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"It would be nice if it had basic features, such as DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"I think that additional metrics features are needed to be able to monitor other areas or to monitor as much as you can, at a fine-grain resolution."
"Stay away from the wireless models, since you cannot put them in HA. They start to give you some weird issues once you start getting into multiple SSIDs and networks."
"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."
"When we call support, we get put on hold for a long time."
"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
"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."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"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."
"It is not a very secure product."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management."
