I primarily use the product to implement secure VPN connections and manage bandwidth in various organizational environments, focusing on network security and efficiency.
My company uses the product against malware and for URL filtering or blocking of URLs. I wanted a comparison between Sophos Cyberoam UTM and other tools in the market since Sophos does not give you reports of certain sites, meaning that it just blocks a website without giving a proper report. I would like something to be integrated on top of Sophos Cyberoam UTM that will give our company the autonomy to send emails to designated leaders and teams. As the product that my company wants is not available in Kenya or in Africa, my organization is in the process of looking for another firewall that we can use.

The primary use cases for Sophos Cyberoam UTM in my environment vary depending on client requirements. I have employed it for VPN tunneling, web filtering, and firewall configurations.
When we use Sophos products, we haven't encountered any problems. Some attacks happen, but our customers haven't been affected. No one has attempted to hack their data and steal Bitcoin.
I reside in a small country with no particular big companies or leading businesses. The solution is mostly used in small to medium-sized companies. If the solution is used in big companies, a couple of thousands of users use the solution.
We are resellers, so when organizations need UTM devices and network security at the gateway level to secure their networks, we recommend and resell this product.
The use cases for the solution are different. It is used by petrochemical companies, government companies, universities, private companies, hospitals, and hotels.
We use Sophos for handling restrictions and the inspection group. For example, HR and finance sites. We also use it for implementation with the company portals. When the users need to access any site, Sophos handles the password and the login and all the security devices.

We use the solution strictly in connection with the files of internal users, such as in a case that they are using the internet and we wish to control their bandwidth or time limit.
I'm using Cyberoam in close to nine locations. We are using, for example, IP sets from Kenya to Somalia, a place where we could not get MPLS connectivity. We have a secondary server in the Somalia office. I also use it from the Nairobi office to the Dubai office as the MPLS is very expensive and I need to do a backup daily. That is for the IP sec. For the VPN, we use it to access our ERP systems remotely from everywhere. Close to a hundred users use it and it has been stable.
I am using the solution mostly internally for security, a firewall and internet. We have a lot of users with many user policies. Additionally, we use it for a DOS-specific file exchange.

We are a solution provider and Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the main product that we sell. We also use it as part of our own network security solution as well. The primary use cases are setting data quotas on a per-user level, web filtering, and granting or denying access to resources. In Sri Lanka, the data is always limited, which is one of the biggest problems that we have.
