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.

Firewall management has become simpler and now provides real-time visibility and bandwidth control
The features I have found most valuable in Sophos UTM are that it is much easier to configure, I appreciate the reporting side of it, and the rules are very straightforward to work with. Sophos UTM's real-time insights into network health help my organization because I get real-time reports on what is happening on my network, what is trying to access me, the destination, and all that. I can then be reactive or proactive, and for zero-day, I think it is beneficial because it can learn what my network does. If anything goes outside what it expects, it sends a report on Sophos Central, so I find zero-day makes my work a bit easier. The use of Sophos UTM's intuitive management console has impacted my security policy enforcement in that it is much easier to configure; I configure with information rather than with presumptions.

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."
"It has great security features, and together with Sophos Endpoint Protection it works perfectly."
"We are very happy with the product so far."
"If you'd like to look into a system which is very robust and hardcore, then select Sophos UTM."
"We highly recommend this solution for SMBs for its reasonable pricing and wide range of network services."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"The UTM features are reasonably strong and the patterns are updated on a regular basis."
"Configuration troubleshooting is eased by the use of the color-coded, live firewall log."
"The initial setup has been fine."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"The web filtering engine needs to be improved as, sometimes, the service hangs for a while and restarts randomly."
"It's stable, but the reaction time of the GUI is terrible; however, in my opinion, UTM is more stable than XG."
"​This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain.​"
"Sophos should improve its ability to check something like bandwidth consumption for users or something more real-time."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
"Sophos UTM sometimes falls short in high-availability environments. They used to launch firmware that didn't work very well in a high-availability environment."
"The price is an issue to consider for improvement."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We originally purchased the solution through the AWS Marketplace. I started my proof of concept doing pay-as-you-go, then moved to a VAR for a 'Bring Your Own Licence' (BYOL) licensing model. The BYOL license still requires you to accept the terms of the AWS Marketplace to deploy."
"The solution is very low cost compared to competitors. You have a good firewall, a lot of functions for less than the price of some omni firewall competitors."
"I would recommend to follow Sophos’ sizing guidelines for choosing which license and model to use. Sophos has their own way of going about this and supplies partners with all the information required. If you follow their documentation and guidelines, there should be zero questions about licensing and sizing."
"I have no problem with the cost or licensing of this solution. This is a primary reason whay I wanted this solution. It does the same thing cheaper than other name brands."
"If you can afford it, go for a small Check Point, as it is easier to manage."
"We purchased the appliance with five years onsite support and licenses."
"It's expensive. It has a yearly license."
"The appliance should be purchased and there is a fee for the license."

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…
