AK
Discontinuation of Hardware and limited firewalling capabilities
Overall, I would rate the solution a four out of ten. For UTM, I will not suggest Seqrite. But for EPS and antivirus, it is good. Cost-wise also and some features. The features wise also, it is good. And support is also good. We can get support on WhatsApp. So support-wise, it is also good.

Network protection strengthens through effective threat management features and secure access control
The zero-day protection and firewall rules are some of the most effective features for threat management. I can set the rules and features, and also use IPsec to connect all my on-premises servers and link them to Sophos UTM so that they are protected even when in the cloud. Additionally, I use it to control access into the building through a captive portal integrated across all the PCs we have, ensuring secure access only for authenticated users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has an MDM solution."
"​Configuration could not be made any easier."
"UTM 9 brings along IPSec as well as iPhone and iPad support. This seems small but it’s useful."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules."
"It gives us the ability to manage our firewalls from the cloud and deploy a unified configuration onto them. Other competitors like Meraki have that ability, but they fail to optimize it in the way that Sophos has."
"So far, the solution has been problem-free."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"We need to speed up the support."
"The integration capabilities could be better."
"With artificial intelligence, there is room for improvement in all antivirus and security software."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"I don't really have any notes for improvements."
"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's internet security could be better."
"Updates come out agonizingly slowly, a trickle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The AWS Marketplace product should be a better fit, but it is a little pricier."
"​In the case of a software/virtual appliance subscription, you pay by protecting user/IP addresses. You can do this to as much hardware resources as you like.​​"
"It is necessary to pay for a licence to use the solution, but it is not very expensive."
"The price is something that one will need to consider."
"It is the cheapest product available. It's good if you have a low budget."
"The product pricing and licensing are higher, but they offer good value for the features and stability provided."
"Sometimes more is less, meaning if you want more than three features, take the FullGuard licence."
"The appliance should be purchased and there is a fee for the license."

Sophos UTM vs. Fortinet FortiGate
I have used both Sophos and Fortinet products in production and I have found the Sophos UTM appliances (hardware and virtual) to be a better fit most of the time -- with a few caveats which I will touch on below. In both instances, the transition from TMG will be mostly straightforward. The main…
