Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It works well without any maintenance. So far, it has worked pretty well regardless of the traffic."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
"Scaling out cannot be easier, as there are many migration paths."
"It helped to connect our satellite offices to the main Amazon infrastructure in a circular way."
"Sophos is a unified solution. We have anti-virus protection, firewall rules, knotting, and DACC all in one box."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"It is easy to manage."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"A very robust product."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"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."

"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"The ease of use could be a bit better."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"Sophos UTM's internet security could be better."
"We'd like to see them offer their services on mobile devices like tablets. I'm not sure if that's an option or not."
"I would like this solution to support ICAP. Also, they no longer support on-premises management, and are forcing clients to use centralized management via the cloud, which I don't agree with."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
