Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."It helps us with protection, with concurrent use of the VPN."
"The cost of the solution is very reasonable."
"Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"The implementation with the AWS environment was good."
"The packet filtering's great. You get out what you put into it. It works great as long as you know your security and configure everything adequately. If you just pop one in and it's not configured, then it's basically wide open. It kind of depends on the admin skill, but it's an excellent product."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"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 most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"We had some problems with the configuration. They had provided a CloudFormation template, and we had to go several rounds to make it work."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"Sophos UTM's firewall is a bit weak, and some of its features lack depth compared to other products like F5."
"We need a better VPN client for the customers."
"I would like some features that are available in other brands. For example, I sometimes a person is using too much bandwidth, and it isn't easy to find this information in Sophos. Also, we have to switch connections manually when we are using a VPN and lose the MPLS connection. It isn't automatic."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"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."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"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."
