"The pricing is great and very reasonable."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"It works well with a highly-active cluster."
"We did not have issues with scalabiliy."
"We consider the user level and control features of Sophos Cyberoam UTM to be the best."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"The solution is excellent for web and application filtering and remote access with the VPN."
"It has been working fine. You just turn it on, and it works."
"It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The UI could be improved."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"After some experience with the solution, we had to do some redesign, but generally, we were happy with the product."
"There needs to be more documentation that users can access to help them understand the solution or troubleshoot as necessary."
"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."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"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."
