Discontinuation of Hardware and limited firewalling capabilities
Overall, I would rate the solution a four out of ten. For UTM, I will not suggest Seqrite. But for EPS and antivirus, it is good. Cost-wise also and some features. The features wise also, it is good. And support is also good. We can get support on WhatsApp. So support-wise, it is also good.

Network protection strengthens through effective threat management features and secure access control
The zero-day protection and firewall rules are some of the most effective features for threat management. I can set the rules and features, and also use IPsec to connect all my on-premises servers and link them to Sophos UTM so that they are protected even when in the cloud. Additionally, I use it to control access into the building through a captive portal integrated across all the PCs we have, ensuring secure access only for authenticated users.

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."
"I like the web filtering options."
"It improved bandwidth utilization and provided link load balancing features for internet and intranet lease lines."
"The cost of the solution is very reasonable."
"Sophos has a single pane of glass which allows me to manage all my VPCs from a single instance, managing all my firewall from one place."
"Sophos UTM has improved the porting section. It has improved security by seeing the gaps. For example, when you discover that an entry has been using a certain application, with Sophos UTM acting as a Layer 7 firewall, you can block the application, not the port."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"Advanced protection (Sophos Sandstorm) - Protects against crypto viruses in real-time."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"The product could be simplified and made more self-explanatory."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"Sophos should be more user-friendly, have more dashboards, and an easier implementation."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
"We would like to have unique viewable IDs for rules and in the packet filter logfile, for easier debugging of old log files."
"Pricing has become expensive recently due to the dollar hike and naira value changes in Nigeria. Even though it's expensive, I consider Sophos a major first line of protection, so I pay for it nonetheless."
"I would like them to move from the Classic Load Balancer to the Network Load Balancer. This would make it easier to do certain things with Amazon. They are able to do some enhancements with Network Load Balancer that they are unable to do with Classic Load Balancer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The problem with the Sophos is not the cost of the hardware but the cost of the modules, packages, and the subscription."
"It is necessary to pay for a licence to use the solution, but it is not very expensive."
"Unless you are in the United States, or you have to use Sophos, you can't contact Sophos directly. You have to use a third-party ​company, and they all have different ways of how they explain their licensing."
"The product pricing and licensing are higher, but they offer good value for the features and stability provided."
"Sophos offers free training when selling their products from within the partner portal.​"
"This product is free for home users. The more expensive products have better performance."
"Go to a vendor and let them assess your needs so you can get a right-sized device."
"There is a license for the device and for the software. We pay annually for the solution and the cost is competitive."

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…
