Sophos UTM pros and cons

The packet filtering's great. You get out what you put into it. It works great as long as you know your security and configure everything adequately. If you just pop one in and it's not configured, then it's basically wide open. It kind of depends on the admin skill, but it's an excellent product.

Sophos UTM is very user-friendly and has good integration with other solutions.

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.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The solution is stable.

The firewall itself is very strong and provides great security.

Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules.

It is a stable product... I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten...The initial setup is quite easy because they have all the information on their website.

The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop.
