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."
"The solution can scale."
"Sophos UTM's most valuable features are profiling and its simple configuration."
"The cost of the solution is very reasonable."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"The stability of Sophos UTM is very good. The solution has been stable since Sophos took over Cyberoam which was the original company providing this solution."
"We use Sophos UTM as our main firewall with all its features included. Mainly, it controls all of our network perimeter security: firewall, IDS/IPS, and web application firewall (including VoIP)."
"Installing Sophos UTM is straightforward. The deployment itself doesn't take long, but you have to spend some time planning and waiting for the hardware to be delivered."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"Last year, Sophos had some major internal management changes that negatively impacted their support."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
"Updates come out agonizingly slowly, a trickle."
"Finding information about Sophos’ sizing guidelines can actually be difficult. Also, Sophos does not make it clear what they mean by “users” when you are sizing a firewall, which then leads to undersized implementations.​"
"Stay away from the wireless models, since you cannot put them in HA. They start to give you some weird issues once you start getting into multiple SSIDs and networks."
"Enhancing the user interface to achieve the same level of flexibility as the older UTM interface could improve the product."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very low cost compared to competitors. You have a good firewall, a lot of functions for less than the price of some omni firewall competitors."
"Both the technical and cost aspects are feasible since it is possible to obtain and use the device as a PnP solution."
"If you can afford it, go for a small Check Point, as it is easier to manage."
"I think the pricing of Sophos is very fair."
"It is necessary to pay for a licence to use the solution, but it is not very expensive."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"This solution is less expensive than FortiGate."
"For under 50 users, MSP licensing is profitable."

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…
