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."
"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."
"The firewall itself is very strong and provides great security."
"The technical support by Sophos is amazing, especially when I pay for the enhanced support."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"The stability, overall, is excellent. I haven't had a problem in the last two years."
"​The initial configuration is straightforward thanks to the web GUI. In 30 minutes, you can have a running firewall with UTM protection enabled.​"
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"It is a little too CPU resource intensive, so we would like to see improvements there."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Enhancing the user interface to achieve the same level of flexibility as the older UTM interface could improve the product."
"I would like to see Sophos UTM add support for all the new threat-detection technologies and the ability to respond to novel security threats that come along every day."
"The solution is not scalable."
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"In short, the UI and UX are the areas of improvement in Sophos UTM and similar solutions compared to Palo Alto."
"Initially, there were issues with the wireless network as wireless access points were disappearing from the dashboard after some time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This product is free for home users. The more expensive products have better performance."
"Although Sophos UTM is a good product, other products have more flexibility with their pricing. It is a very fine product, but when someone wants more relaxed pricing or more leverage in pricing, Sophos is more rigid."
"There was an up-front charge of around $70,000, to purchase the hub and license. Beyond the initial cost, licenses are charged for annually, but they are good value for the service we receive."
"If you can afford it, go for a small Check Point, as it is easier to manage."
"Sometimes more is less, meaning if you want more than three features, take the FullGuard licence."
"The licensing model is very straightforward, it's a bit pricey, but for what you get, it's well worth it."
"Both the technical and cost aspects are feasible since it is possible to obtain and use the device as a PnP solution."
"We purchased the appliance with five years onsite support and licenses."

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…
