"The tool is stable."
"It is very easy to use."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."

"Sophos UTM is very user-friendly and has good integration with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the price. I've been requesting prices all over these years between different solutions like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Check Point and Sophos has been the cheapest and the best of all of them that I have tried. I have been working with Fortinet, it's a fact that the price is surprisingly better."

"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"Its scalability is not that great."

"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"VPN configuration is not very swift."
"The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"Updates come out agonizingly slowly, a trickle."
"There were a lot of features and functionality in Sophos SG UTM but nothing was state of the art in terms of technology. You did not get the latest functions. It was very monolithic as it was based on an old Linux PuTTY system."
"Support for IKEv2 is needed in this solution."
"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."
"The lack of import/export functions for network and service options drives me mad."
"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."
"Sophos UTM could be simplified, and they can improve on the many other features, like SD-WAN and load balancing. Sophos UTM is missing a few features that their competitors have. For example, if you have multiple branches you would like to connect, the load balancing features aren't available on multilink. If we create a VPM for multiple LAN links, we cannot load balance the traffic."
