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)."It is easy to manage."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The firewall itself is very strong and provides great security."
"Sophos UTM has improved the porting section. It has improved security by seeing the gaps. For example, when you discover that an entry has been using a certain application, with Sophos UTM acting as a Layer 7 firewall, you can block the application, not the port."
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"It's a stable solution."
"It's easy to use."
"The stability, overall, is excellent. I haven't had a problem in the last two years."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."
"The server appliance is good."
"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."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The only time we face a problem or issues is when we place a ticket. We have found that response is very slow."
"We need a better VPN client for the customers."
"There's an issue that when we deploy UTM on fiber, it automatically upgrades to the latest version without giving an option to stay on the current one."
"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."
"It needs a better user interface. The one they have is not so good."
"Last year, Sophos had some major internal management changes that negatively impacted their support."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
"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."
"It is not a very secure product."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
