Sophos Cyberoam UTM vs Stormshield Network Security comparison

"The solution is easy to use."

"All in one UTM appliance."

"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."

"Technical support is excellent."

"Bandwidth Management and aggregation. It is valuable for combining two ISPs. Switching to a secondary/redundant ISP is thus seamless, in the event that the primary ISP goes down. The Bandwidth Management is also valuable for limiting heavy downloaders that may impact negatively on the experience of other users."

"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch."

"We are using it as a security shield. It does not allow access before that in case we have restricted a few things from users, so it helps me in that."

"Good user interface."

"This solution is quick and easy to configure."

"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."

"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."

"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."

"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."

"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."

"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."

"The scalability of the solution is good."

"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."

"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."

"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."

"The documentation is not straightforward."

"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant."

"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."

"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."

"The VPN needs to be improved."

"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."

"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."

"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."

"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."

"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."

"This is not a next-generation firewall."

"The product must improve its pricing."

"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."

"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has many price schemes."

"Sophos Cyberoam UTM needs cheaper pricing."

"Prices are very high."

"Although it's not a very cheap solution, Sophos Cyberoam UTM is in a good price range considering its feature set."

"There are many options for payment of the subscription license. You purchase a subscription every one, two, or three years. You can also have monthly subscriptions but we typically offer subscriptions for three years because from the financial perspective it is better to have a three-year subscription."

"The prices of the product can be considered quite steep...My company makes yearly payments towards the licensing cost attached to the product to our ISP."

"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."

"There is a license for this solution and it is priced competitively. We paid approximately $2,000 for the license."

"The SN200 series costs between $500 USD and $600 USD per year, whereas the SN700 series costs approximately $1,000 annually."

"For mid-sized companies, they sell their appliances for good prices."

"I think the price is good."

"The pricing could be better."

"We chose Stormshield for its price, as the Azure firewall was too expensive."

"We bought a three-year license, and we renew it whenever it expires. The price could be better. It's always very expensive."

"The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
