"It does not take much effort or thinking to understand how it works."
"The most valuable features of Sophos UTM are the ease of use, it is very user-friendly. You can understand what they implement in the new firmware, and it's easy to manage the firewalls."
"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."
"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."
"So far, the solution has been problem-free."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"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."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"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 initial setup may be difficult for those not familiar with the product."
"As it stands right now, when we have an internet failure on WAN1, it takes several minutes before our WAN2 connection picks up the traffic"
"The UI can be cumbersome and, sometimes, features are not where you think they should be."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"Sophos UTM's firewall is a bit weak, and some of its features lack depth compared to other products like F5."
"Last year, Sophos had some major internal management changes that negatively impacted their support."
"The application control is really bad. It needs a lot of enhancements. The traffic shaping and bandwidth control, and application control need a lot of work."
"The documentation during the AWS integration was a little fuzzy on getting it to work with how the whole public exposure versus private exposure, then routing some of the traffic."
"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 is an expensive solution."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"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 support could be improved."
"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."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
