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."The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The solution has good load balancers."
"The reporting features are very good."
"The security capabilities are okay."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"There is no lag in service when accessing the internet."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine and a half out of ten...The setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is bandwidth control."
"The scanning feature is impressive, because they do not introduce a big latency to the traffic."
"I like the granularity of the control of all the traffic, including SSL inspection. I also like the fact that the user interface is intuitive. The latencies with Zscaler are minimal compared to those of any other competitor. Other competitors do not really have the global scale that Zscaler has and cannot promise low latencies."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution’s customer service is good."
"The data loss prevention feature is the most valuable. It stops our users from inadvertently leaking our customers' data to the Internet or anywhere else it shouldn't go."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"The solution's pricing could be a problem for some small businesses."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."
"The product’s pricing has increased by approximately 45% in four months. This particular area needs improvement."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"Sometimes it's not easy to use during large deployments of workstations."
"The reporting functionality could be a bit easier to use. There is a reporting function, but it's quite hard to do any good reporting, from a user-management perspective. For example, if a department manager wants to know how his department is using the web, there is a way to get the data, but it's quite cumbersome to get it and show it well. And that's true for comparing between departments."
"It also needs better integration with other applications as well. There are some restrictions."
"The OS capabilities and WSL support could be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"An improvement would be if they could provide an out-of-the-box experience, like 20 to 30 features all ready to go. In comparison, LogRhythm offers out-of-the-box features. With Zscaler Internet Access, there is firewall IPS, multiple security services, filtering, DLP, and CASB browser isolation. These are things that all users are going to be using. However, when an administrator or architect would start building this, I would definitely need to engage professional services to help clients do it."
"I would like to see the ability to choose a pool of IPs for my company, set up rules based on them, and know that those IPs are not used by other companies."
"Another thing that I would like to see is if Zscaler could have a separate product for direct access. I looked at a private access solution, but I understand there's a separate product that isn't integrated with this."
