Head IT at NorthSYS Integrators
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.

IT Manager at Vegol
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."
"The stability of the product is quite good; we haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze on us, and we trust its reliability."
"What I like about the solution is the ease of use."
"Our systems are silent, secure, and we don't have many problems with security policy enforcement."
"All of Sophos UTM's features are valuable."
"Sophos SG UTM had all the basic functionality that you needed. It is user-friendly and easy to manage for any integrator."
"I definitely recommend Sophos. I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Sophos UTM's valuable features include the cost, which is very competitive when compared with other vendors, balanced with the features that it delivers."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"Finding information about Sophos’ sizing guidelines can actually be difficult. Also, Sophos does not make it clear what they mean by “users” when you are sizing a firewall, which then leads to undersized implementations.​"
"The initial setup was straightforward. The full deployment takes approximately two days which could be simplified to reduce the time. The major part of the process is the configuration and the policy setup."
"They could definitely improve on the support, especially in other countries."
"There needs to be some improvement in the IPsec VPN. There is implementation only support. I have version one. I'd be most interested in having IP version two from the protocol."
"Sophos UTM could improve the way the configuration has to be done. I have to do the configuration through the command line interface but if it could be done through the graphical user interface it would be much better."
"The memory and processing were problematic. The interface could be better."
"We need to speed up the support."
"The solution needs better integration with captive portals and XGs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is the cheapest product available. It's good if you have a low budget."
"There was an up-front charge of around $70,000, to purchase the hub and license. Beyond the initial cost, licenses are charged for annually, but they are good value for the service we receive."
"Compared to the current market offerings, like FortiGate or SonicWall, Sophos offers its solution at a good price."
"The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model and is competitive."
"You cannot really say that the solution is expensive, given the protection it gives."
"The pricing for Sophos UTM is quite acceptable compared to other UTM vendors."
"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."
"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…
