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."
"The solution's sandboxing, application center, and database engine are good."
"I would recommend UTM over XG because it's easier to manage."
"It works well without any maintenance. So far, it has worked pretty well regardless of the traffic."
"Sophos UTM is the simplest of these products to setup."
"The product is extremely intuitive."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"It helps us with protection, with concurrent use of the VPN."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the efficiency and mail filtering module."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"Needs to improve the certificate management (ex. Let's Encrypt support)."
"The pricing is an issue."
"In short, the UI and UX are the areas of improvement in Sophos UTM and similar solutions compared to Palo Alto."
"The only time we face a problem or issues is when we place a ticket. We have found that response is very slow."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
"With Sophos UTM, there is a general rule in the firewall when the country blocking can block some countries from accessing your data. In the current version, you still need to add it by putting in the IP range. This feature would be helpful for administrators and it gives them the advantage to block stuff in less time."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sophos offers free training when selling their products from within the partner portal.​"
"You cannot really say that the solution is expensive, given the protection it gives."
"The price of the solution is high. The price from USD to my currency is expensive."
"It is the cheapest product available. It's good if you have a low budget."
"The AWS Marketplace product should be a better fit, but it is a little pricier."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is pretty straightforward. Because were entirely on AWS and don't have anything anywhere else. It made the most sense for us as a one stop shop."
"I think the pricing of Sophos is very fair."
"The licensing model is very straightforward, it's a bit pricey, but for what you get, it's well worth it."

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…
