We performed a comparison between GajShield Next Generation Firewall and Sophos UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"Their reliability and their policy of pre-shipping replacements when a unit has failed."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"It is an easily scalable solution...The initial setup was very easy."
"Gajshiled's enterprise cloud and DLP-level features give it an advantage over other products."
"It is a stable solution."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall's best feature is the network DLP."
"The most valuable feature of the GajShield Next Generation Firewall is the user-friendly settings, dashboards, and anti-threat protection. Additionally, the solution upgrades frequently which is good because we receive new features."
"GajShield has improved our mobile device-based connectivity."
"The solution's outcome is very high, and we often use it in a very high-traffic environment."
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"The most valuable feature is the IPS. It also protects us from malware."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"They are all good, but most-used are Network Protection and Web Filtering."
"Technical support is very responsive."
"The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis"
"It works well without any maintenance. So far, it has worked pretty well regardless of the traffic."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The reports are very basic."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"The initial setup may be difficult for those not familiar with the product."
"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."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"We'd like to see them offer their services on mobile devices like tablets. I'm not sure if that's an option or not."
"It is a pretty straightforward setup, but it should be some sort of documentation that takes you step-by-step to help set it up for your VPC."
"This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain."
