Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 interface is user-friendly.""The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use.""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.""The performance has been good overall.""The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations.""The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries.""The tool is stable."

Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future.""I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights.""Its scalability is not that great.""The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently.""The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features.""The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant.""It isn't missing anything.""There are some issues with logs and report limitations."

More Sophos Cyberoam UTM Cons →

"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved.""Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
