"Anti-phishing functionality should be improved."

"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"Sophos UTM sometimes falls short in high-availability environments. They used to launch firmware that didn't work very well in a high-availability environment."
