Discontinuation of Hardware and limited firewalling capabilities
It has an MDM solution. Another good feature the solution offers is to secure data to avoid breaches.  Seqrite UTM is not good in fireballing solutions. They are good in EPS endpoint security and antivirus. And load antivirus. Moreover, this solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got…

Gives us the ability to manage our firewalls from the cloud and deploy a unified configuration onto them
From Cyberoam and the early builds of Sophos SG, they have developed higher integration between Sophos UTM and the computers' endpoint antiviruses. We can isolate the infected machine from the network, but an IT technician or cybersecurity professional can remove it from the machine and disinfect it. It has the capability of blocking HTTPS traffic, but you need the Sophos Central Intercept X subscription for that. It gives us the ability to manage our firewalls from the cloud and deploy a unified configuration onto them. Other competitors like Meraki have that ability, but they fail to optimize it in the way that Sophos has.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has an MDM solution."
"It has made our organization more secure, because we are using a VPN. We are not accessing services directly. It allows us to segregate some of the traffic for individuals which may be more of a developer role rather than an operational role needing access to developer resources, but not necessarily production operational resources."
"The solution is easy to handle and configure."
"​The initial configuration is straightforward thanks to the web GUI. In 30 minutes, you can have a running firewall with UTM protection enabled.​"
"The most valuable features of Sophos UTM are the ease of use, it is very user-friendly. You can understand what they implement in the new firmware, and it's easy to manage the firewalls."
"It does not take much effort or thinking to understand how it works.​"
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website."
"It's easy to use."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"They could reduce the price."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Stay away from the wireless models, since you cannot put them in HA. They start to give you some weird issues once you start getting into multiple SSIDs and networks."
"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"The technical support team’s response time could be improved."
"I would like to see the SD-WAN feature improved."
"We didn’t find any issues but I know there have been some in the last few years."
"The logs are not clear, which means that you need an additional piece of software in order to read them clearly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sophos UTM's pricing is on the cheaper side."
"I have no problem with the cost or licensing of this solution. This is a primary reason whay I wanted this solution. It does the same thing cheaper than other name brands."
"The solution is affordable compared to others, such as FortiGate. The price is important."
"Both the technical and cost aspects are feasible since it is possible to obtain and use the device as a PnP solution."
"Sometimes more is less, meaning if you want more than three features, take the FullGuard licence."
"We pay for the service on a yearly basis. The last time we paid was in June, for a year. At the time, it was about $20,000."
"Go to a vendor and let them assess your needs so you can get a right-sized device."
"Sophos UTM has very reasonable pricing."

Sophos UTM vs. Fortinet FortiGate
I have used both Sophos and Fortinet products in production and I have found the Sophos UTM appliances (hardware and virtual) to be a better fit most of the time -- with a few caveats which I will touch on below. In both instances, the transition from TMG will be mostly straightforward. The main…
