Sophos Cyberoam UTM Reviews

There are many features that are valuable, but the Bandwidth Management and Web/Application Filter policies are the most valuable.

It has minimized the bandwidth consumption as a result of which many other applications run smoothly.

The most important improvement Cyberoam needs is the multiple ISP segregation.

I used this solution from 2012 through 2014.

Sometimes the proxy server turns idle, then we need to restart the service.

Customer Service:

It's one of the best.

Technical Support:

It's one of the best.

I have not used a previous solution.

The initial setup is straightforward and simple.

We used a vendor team.

Outstanding and must have product for efficient and effective network security. Cyberoam is the only identity-based UTM solution. It offers a well-coordinated protection through tightly integrated security solutions over a single interface.Most UTMs only offer IP-address based security. Cyberoam is the only UTM solution that offers user identity-based security, protecting enterprises from unpredictable, insider threats.Functioning with Layer 8 technology, Cyberoam gives complete visibility into “Who is doing What” in the network and allows policies to be created at the user level based on work profiles. Considering Active High Availability, load balancing, failover mechanism, bandwidth management capabilities and other features, it is worth buying.

Policy configuration and implementation is a bit lengthy process. Nothing else of any significance that we found but yes, it is a bit pricey.

After implementing Cyberoam UTM in our data-center. We tested it by initiating various kind of DDOS attacks. Cyberoam identified every attack, notified us about it and prevented the network from any kind of damage and disturbance. It controls bandwidth to a great extent by use of policy for single user to groups. Easy deployment, good hardware specification, classy reporting tools, no user count restrictions etc. A features-packed and powerful UTM appliance at the higher end of the price spectrum, but worth it.

It is the gateway to the internet connection in our company.

It has been working fine. You just turn it on, and it works.

It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. 

It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages.

I have been using Sophos Cyberoam UTM for ten years.

It is stable. There have been no problems with it.

I don't have any experience with technical support because we did not use technical support.

It was quite easy to configure this device. There was a very nice Cyberoam knowledge base on the internet, so it was quite easy to configure the whole device.

We ordered the device, and our partner commissioned it. We manage it ourselves. There are two persons responsible for the network setup in our company.

It is not cheap.

We are in the process of changing the firewall in our company. We have been using Sophos Cyberoam UTM for ten years, and now the device is quite old. It has been working fine, and we are looking for new equipment only because of the age of this device. We have requirements for features like filtering, VPN connections, and we are trying to find the best solution for our requirements at a reasonable price.

I would rate Sophos Cyberoam UTM a five out of ten.

• Reliability
• Good user interface
• Versatility

Perhaps the SSL VPN.

We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products.

It's a stable product.

Tech support is knowledgeable.

You need special training to set it up.

It is more expensive than cheap routers, but it offers a lot of functionality, and that warrants the price.

I would warmly recommend it.

However, the reason I don't give it a 10 out of 10 is because we sometimes find the customer service or the support lacking.

It has made internet usage more productive for internal users.

Web application filtering eases internet access control.

The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections.

No.

Yes.

Great.

No.

Straightforward.

Licensing is a bit costly, mostly for features requiring subscription.

No.

Good networking knowledge is essential for a smooth implementation.

Firewall, Web Filter, Application Filter, VPN SSL, VPN Ipsec. in one applicance. For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate. All features are ways to control the security of you network.

Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior.

No.

No.

8

Yes, the older solution was very limited.

None that I remember.

None.

Yes, Fortinet.

Enjoy!

• NG Firewall
• Application Filter
• Web Filter 
• IPS

All these features are valuable to us because we can block malicious and unproductive application and sites to improve productivity and security in our network, audit users and machines and protect us against exploitation.

It's improved productivity as well as user and network security.. It's helped with internet access management and provides security against external attacks.

We have had issues with malicious sites and external scans.

We didn't have any issues with deployment.

We haven't had issues with stability.

We haven't had issues with scalability.

You should hire a Cyberoam specialist to manage it.

There has been great productivity as, during working hours, I have managed to to set them to view that which relates to the nature of our business.

Content filtering, as this enables me to control that which employees can view at different time quotas.

VPN configuration is not very swift.

None.

None.

Seven out of 10.

Cisco. Changed solutions due to its command based interface.

It was straightforward and much simpler to set up than expected.

It is very reasonably priced as compared to other solutions in the market.

I only evaluated Cyberoam and found it to not be user friendly.

It is certainly worth a try as it does the job well.
