AK
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.

Network protection strengthens through effective threat management features and secure access control
The zero-day protection and firewall rules are some of the most effective features for threat management. I can set the rules and features, and also use IPsec to connect all my on-premises servers and link them to Sophos UTM so that they are protected even when in the cloud. Additionally, I use it to control access into the building through a captive portal integrated across all the PCs we have, ensuring secure access only for authenticated users.

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."
"An easy solution to learn because the graphics are very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos UTM is the endpoint protection feature."
"I would recommend UTM over XG because it's easier to manage."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall application and application control."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"It works well without any maintenance. So far, it has worked pretty well regardless of the traffic."
"The management suite is easy and the agent is easy to develop."
"It makes it a lot easier for us to maintain things. Prior to it, things were more difficult. This means less time on us. We can focus on other things. The recovery is more in man-hours for us than anything else."
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"I didn't like it much. It suits only small businesses. It isn't scalable and reliable. There is a very critical issue with the power supply."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
"It's stable, but the reaction time of the GUI is terrible."
"​This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain.​"
"The integration capabilities could be better."
"The pricing is an issue."
"The reporting system needs to allow for customizations because many reports do not include details that we expect."
"We need a better VPN client for the customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you can afford it, go for a small Check Point, as it is easier to manage."
"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."
"We purchased the appliance with five years onsite support and licenses."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price of the solution is high. The price from USD to my currency is expensive."
"Compared to the current market offerings, like FortiGate or SonicWall, Sophos offers its solution at a good price."
"The biggest issue with Sophos is the pricing. It's definitely more expensive. As I said, we looked at Webroot, which is a big alternative, and Sophos was almost three times the price of Webroot. That's a pretty big difference."
"The price is something that one will need to consider."

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…
