Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."Sophos is a unified solution. We have anti-virus protection, firewall rules, knotting, and DACC all in one box."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"Technical support is very responsive."
"Scaling out cannot be easier, as there are many migration paths."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"Advanced protection (Sophos Sandstorm) - Protects against crypto viruses in real-time."
"An easy solution to learn because the graphics are very intuitive."
"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."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"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."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"There is still room for improvement in wireless protection. I don't mean their WiFi device is bad, but there are still things to improve on, such as WiFi roaming."
"It is a little too CPU resource intensive, so we would like to see improvements there."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The full deployment takes approximately two days which could be simplified to reduce the time. The major part of the process is the configuration and the policy setup."
"The solution is not scalable."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"The classification segregation of applications lacks sufficient definition."
"With Sophos UTM, there is a general rule in the firewall when the country blocking can block some countries from accessing your data. In the current version, you still need to add it by putting in the IP range. This feature would be helpful for administrators and it gives them the advantage to block stuff in less time."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"It is an expensive solution."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"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."
