Sophos Cyberoam UTM Reviews

It is an excellent product with lots of pros such as- 1) AntiVirus 2) AntiSpam 3) Web and application level filtering 4) Intrusion detection with instant prevention of zero day attacks 5) Identity based policy creation 6) Access control criteria 7)Flexible policy creation with stacking and VPN support

Few cons of the product are 1) Incapable of handling new attacks without degradation in performance 2) High pricing 3) ASIC based hence cannot be reprogrammed for newer attacks, falls victim to new vulnerabilities and exploits 4) Older software architecture and lack of multi core technology 5) Performance is a legitimate concern under high traffic conditions

It specializes in application level filtering according to the OSI Model. Its Layer 8 technology makes it a class apart from the other firewalls available.

I've been using Sophos Cyberoam UTM since around 2010. 

The product is stable. 

The initial setup of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is straightforward. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

The product’s most valuable feature is a centralized dashboard. It can manage firewalls, endpoints, wireless devices, and switches from a single console. We can synchronize old firewalls, antivirus, wireless, and switches.

The product’s pricing has increased by approximately 45% in four months. This particular area needs improvement.

We have an in-house technical support team, including three to four engineers. We reach out to the product’s support team in cases of software- or hardware-related issues.

The product is worth the investment.

The product’s pricing is expensive. It could be reduced. Most customers purchase its three-year license due to cost savings compared to a year license.
