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.

Integrated firewall and VPN have provided cost savings and strengthened customer security
The needed improvements for Sophos UTM include that the GUI could be a little more high-resolution-aware because it's still stuck in the small, low-resolution admin days, and those are long over. I choose a rating of nine out of ten for Sophos UTM because, as I mentioned, the graphical user interface is stuck in the past, and some things here and there are not implemented to the full, such as the reverse gateway thing, reverse proxy, and web application firewall. If you want to really implement some rules that are a little bit more difficult, Sophos always recommends getting the dedicated WAF, or web application firewall, but I would prefer to have more features on the web application firewall in the firewall itself because it would make more sense. Other than that, it's a very smooth experience, and I really appreciate it.

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."
"What I like about Sophos UTM is that it improves my company's security. The solution is easy to set up, which I like, and it's very stable."
"Technical support is very responsive."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"I definitely recommend Sophos. I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The solution is stable."
"Efficient and effective - it's easy to separate rules."
"Sophos integrates seamlessly, and we don't even feel it is running in the background."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"The initial setup may be difficult for those not familiar with the product."
"An area for improvement in Sophos UTM is load balancing because my company cannot use it currently. If Sophos could release a new configuration for the load balancing feature to work for my company, that would be great."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"The functionality is not granular enough to monitor or identify issues effectively."
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"I would love to see artificial intelligence capabilities integrated into Sophos UTM."
"The pricing is an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The AWS Marketplace product should be a better fit, but it is a little pricier."
"It will cost approximately $67 US per device. We have 300 devices in our organization."
"The price of the license for Sophos UTM is approximately $5,500. The solution is less expensive than competitors."
"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."
"Unless you are in the United States, or you have to use Sophos, you can't contact Sophos directly. You have to use a third-party ​company, and they all have different ways of how they explain their licensing."
"It's expensive. It has a yearly license."
"The solution is affordable compared to others, such as FortiGate. The price is important."
"You cannot really say that the solution is expensive, given the protection it gives."

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…
