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."
"It has made our organization more secure, because we are using a VPN. We are not accessing services directly. It allows us to segregate some of the traffic for individuals which may be more of a developer role rather than an operational role needing access to developer resources, but not necessarily production operational resources."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"Technical support is very responsive."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"So far, the solution has been problem-free."
"Sophos UTM's most valuable features are profiling and its simple configuration."
"The installation phase was easy."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"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."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"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."
"The server appliance is good."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"Flexibility in pricing could be improved. It's more rigid in its pricing compared to its competitor: Kaspersky."
"It is a little too CPU resource intensive, so we would like to see improvements there."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"The initial setup may be difficult for those not familiar with the product."
"They could reduce the price."
"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."
"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 world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not a very secure product."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"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."
