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)."We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"Sophos UTM provides security for our network here and access through a VPN connection for our remote users. It also offers the flexibility to create different tools for accessibility."
"It makes it a lot easier for us to maintain things. Prior to it, things were more difficult. This means less time on us. We can focus on other things. The recovery is more in man-hours for us than anything else."
"The solution is easy to handle and configure."
"If a computer does get infected the Sophos appliance lets us know via it's Advanced Threat Protection so we can get a much faster response time."
"They are all good, but most-used are Network Protection and Web Filtering."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"The most valuable feature is the IPS. It also protects us from malware."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The server appliance is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"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."
"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."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
"Sophos UTM could be simplified, and they can improve on the many other features, like SD-WAN and load balancing. Sophos UTM is missing a few features that their competitors have. For example, if you have multiple branches you would like to connect, the load balancing features aren't available on multilink. If we create a VPM for multiple LAN links, we cannot load balance the traffic."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"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."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
"Sophos UTM could improve if there was no limitation on users."
"Doesn't provide antivirus for individual computers."
"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."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"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."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
