Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco, Sophos and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The intrusion prevention is great, and I like dual virus scanning on the network layer because we scan it through Avira and Sophos. Web filtering is also a fantastic option for clients who want to really lock down internet access."
"Configuration could not be made any easier."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"It now controls all the security aspects of our web servers with Sophos UTM WAF."
"We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"The solution is stable."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"As it stands right now, when we have an internet failure on WAN1, it takes several minutes before our WAN2 connection picks up the traffic"
"It's stable, but the reaction time of the GUI is terrible."
"Anti-phishing functionality should be improved."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
"We would like to have unique viewable IDs for rules and in the packet filter logfile, for easier debugging of old log files."
"I would like this solution to support ICAP. Also, they no longer support on-premises management, and are forcing clients to use centralized management via the cloud, which I don't agree with."
"There is still room for improvement in wireless protection. I don't mean their WiFi device is bad, but there are still things to improve on, such as WiFi roaming."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
