I run a managed service provider, and I put everybody on UTM appliances. Those licenses are all renewed annually, and I have to manage their networks. I get a great return on investment.  With the XG line, you can get into the Sophos Flex program, where I only get billed monthly for it. We charge the customer monthly for their security subscriptions, so we get a return every single month.

I keep my prices reasonable. Lots of people charge twice what they pay, and they get a lot more money in their pocket, but I just don't like gouging people.

ROI has yet to be calculated.

We haven't seen ROI because we just got it two or three months ago. Over time we will.

I haven't really explored ROI. I only have worked with it for slightly over a year. Maybe we need to start looking at it. 

That said, so far, we are protected and we haven't been hit so far. We're getting the returns from it in that sense.

I can't mention anything on ROI because I'm more focused on the technical part. I'm not needed in the financial part. In our company, we have saved bandwidth and lots of network hardware waste. 

The Sophos UTM solution did help us because we were depending on a software base from Microsoft. Microsoft is a great company but they are not great for our security. Now they have improved. When you go out and buy something, buy it from the specialists.

For example, if you go for virtualization, VMware is a company that only does virtualization. Go for specialized people. Don't go for people who are doing everything at once. 

It's like when you go to a physician or a doctor and you have a problem with certain things. i.e you have a problem with the bones. Go to the doctor that is specialized in the bones, not a general doctor. 

As with most hardware, margins could always be better. I can get competitive pricing on larger deals. Our biggest ROI is the monthly management fee, which is very reasonable for our clients. Since we do all of our management (updates, reports, etc.) from the SUM we spend very little time on this and a technician can do it. It has a very good economy scaling and the annual subscription renewals are pretty standard with not much of a margin. This solution fits the MSP model very well due to it being a centralized control/management solution.

The ROI is extremely high.

We have witnessed a positive ROI while using the solution. 

It makes it a lot easier for us to maintain things. Prior to it, things were more difficult. This means less time on us. We can focus on other things. The recovery is more in man-hours for us than anything else.

ROI for the product is very high. The cost of the product is based on the number of users and the licensing is not too expensive.

The ROI is in 12-16 months, since with this kind of tool, we deliver the best of breed protection, and increment the focus of the end user, in being productive.

I would rate our ROI from Sophos UTM as three to four out of five.

Our return on investment is the fact that we are protecting the business' data, lowering administrative costs, and are better able to manage every bit of our network security.

Unsure as I don't deal in the money side of things but I think the clients get excellent returns as their security is totally covered if they include EndPoint protection.

It's around six to nine months.

Not applicable.

Based on cost compare with other vendor who bill per license and OTP users, the ROI have been set as far as 6 moths.

When considering a product, I think support from the solution is very important.
