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."
"​The initial configuration is straightforward thanks to the web GUI. In 30 minutes, you can have a running firewall with UTM protection enabled.​"
"Good basic firewall functions with advanced firewall scanning."
"The technical support by Sophos is amazing, especially when I pay for the enhanced support."
"With over 150 firewalls in our portal, management and monitoring have never been easier."
"It has made our organization more secure, because we are using a VPN. We are not accessing services directly. It allows us to segregate some of the traffic for individuals which may be more of a developer role rather than an operational role needing access to developer resources, but not necessarily production operational resources."
"We find all of the features valuable because together they fit the needs of our customers."
"Brings greater visibility into the network traffic coming inside and passing away from the company."
"It does not take much effort or thinking to understand how it works.​"
 

Cons

"This solution is not accurate. Sometimes, the switches got hung. So sometimes, whatever policies we have deployed were not working properly."
"Sophos UTM could improve if there was no limitation on users."
"​This product could use some improvement with web filtering. It takes a lot of time and effort to set up and maintain.​"
"Monitoring and reporting are areas that need improvement."
"They could use more SSL VPN support."
"We didn’t find any issues but I know there have been some in the last few years."
"I would like this solution to support ICAP. Also, they no longer support on-premises management, and are forcing clients to use centralized management via the cloud, which I don't agree with."
"The solution needs to do better at covering mobile devices, although they may have an integrated solution for that purpose."
"The support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sophos UTM's pricing is on the cheaper side."
"It's reasonably priced."
"The pricing and licensing are both good and better than Sophos's competitors. This is why we went with the product."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace went smoothly. We did not have any issues and the pricing was decent."
"The solution is affordable compared to others, such as FortiGate. The price is important."
"The appliance should be purchased and there is a fee for the license."
"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."
"It is necessary to pay for a licence to use the solution, but it is not very expensive."

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…
