Sophos Cyberoam UTM Reviews

I use the solution as a firewall to protect my network and the two main computers for our website.

The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use.

In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training.

I have been using the solution for a short time.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. We had approximately 500 users using the solution.

I was using Kerio Control before this solution and I liked some of the features but we only used it for a short time.

The solution was easy to install, it was straightforward. It took approximately three hours to configure it. We have one security and network administrators for the maintenance of the solution.

We have used consultants in the past for the implementation.

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

We stopped using the solution because we needed more training and the documentation needed improvements.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos Cyberoam UTM a seven out of ten.

Helps us to aggregate/manage bandwidth from two ISPs, as a fail-safe.

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.

Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation.

No stability issues.

No scalability issues.

No previous solution.

My network engineers were able to find their way around it in a short time.

It’s value for the money.

Check Point, Fortinet.

I give it an eight out of 10. It’s functionally competitive with higher priced alternative brands.

It's easy to manage and handle. BW management and BW quota with limitation policy is easily deployed.

Flat network was there and internet surfing was high. To minimise the risk and BW allocation, Cyberoam is used and it is very productive.

The dashboard could be improved.
