Sophos Cyberoam UTM Reviews

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.

We are using this solution for protecting our organization from threats. We use the SSL VPN, anti-spyware, anti-spam, web and application filters, and the generated logs of people who try and scan our network. 

The most valuable feature in cyberoam firewall is multi-port Bridge Support, Static MAC Configuration in Bridge Mode & Netflow support for Bandwidth Monitoring & Firewall Traffic Analysis. this are the feature's which is most valuable i found in sophos cyberoam 10.6.2 firewall
