We performed a comparison between Sophos UTM and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The most valuable feature is ransomware protection."
"The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis"
"It now controls all the security aspects of our web servers with Sophos UTM WAF."
"It is a very good product. The threat monitoring process is the most valuable feature."
"With Sophos, we have not had any incidents this year. The security provided has been good. It has proven to be okay for our needs."
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"The features that I've known to be most valuable are both the web security features as well as the web firewall capabilities. As a partner of Sophos firewall, we have some clients and they are using Sophos firewall UTM and we are using it as well."
"It helps us with protection, with concurrent use of the VPN."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"The five-factor authentication needs improvement."
"The documentation during the AWS integration was a little fuzzy on getting it to work with how the whole public exposure versus private exposure, then routing some of the traffic."
"Flexibility in pricing could be improved. It's more rigid in its pricing compared to its competitor: Kaspersky."
"There were a lot of features and functionality in Sophos SG UTM but nothing was state of the art in terms of technology. You did not get the latest functions. It was very monolithic as it was based on an old Linux PuTTY system."
"The memory and processing were problematic. The interface could be better."
"Reporting: We have had to work manually in many of our reports."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."
