We performed a comparison between Sophos UTM and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."UTM 9 brings along IPSec as well as iPhone and iPad support. This seems small but it’s useful."
"The solution is stable."
"Sophos SG UTM had all the basic functionality that you needed. It is user-friendly and easy to manage for any integrator."
"It has helped by identifying threats within the company. If there are computers or servers that are compromised, then we are able to identify them right away in the system."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Sophos UTM's best feature is SIM in the cloud, which combines the gateway solution and endpoint solution to send telemetry data to the cloud and provides full contact visibility regarding security."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis"
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"The technical support only communicates via email. I would prefer to communicate directly with someone."
"We need to speed up the support."
"Sophos UTM could improve the way the configuration has to be done. I have to do the configuration through the command line interface but if it could be done through the graphical user interface it would be much better."
"It does have built-in policies, which enable you to disable USB devices, etc. It would be nice if they had more policies because there are not that many of them."
"Sophos UTM could improve if there was no limitation on users."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"It is not a very secure product."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
