Flexible, stable, and scalable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
  • "Cyberoam UTM is a very good product, but those installing it should make sure they have the right technical person there when implementing it."
  • "The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
  • "The initial setup is complex and requires the presence of an expert."

What is our primary use case?

We use Cyberoam UTM as a firewall.

What is most valuable?

Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like.

What needs improvement?

The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Cyberoam UTM for over a year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Cyberoam UTM is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We chose Sophos because it's presented as being scalable in any way if you have the license.

How are customer service and support?

Sophos' technical support is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is complex and requires the presence of an expert.

What about the implementation team?

We used the supplier's team, who did not live up to our expectations - we even had to assist them in reading the manual.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Separate license keys are required for different solutions that we implement in the server room, which are an additional cost.

What other advice do I have?

Cyberoam UTM is a very good product, but those installing it should make sure they have the right technical person there when implementing it. I would give this solution a score of eight out of ten.

Feature rich, flexible payment options, and highly reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection."
  • "Sophos Cyberoam UTM is a very stable solution and it's a well-formed and clear-built solution."
  • "Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
  • "Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."

What is our primary use case?

We use Sophos Cyberoam UTM to protect company networks from attacks from the internet and to separate internal networks into different nodes. The Intrusion Prevention system of Sophos Cyberoam UTM protects different networks from attacks from other networks. This includes the company's network or from the outside of the company's networks.

What is most valuable?

There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection.

What needs improvement?

Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Sophos Cyberoam UTM for approximately 18 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sophos Cyberoam UTM is a very stable solution and it's a well-formed and clear-built solution. You can easily have flexibility in configuring. The Sophos XG has a strong connection to the cloud and that's not good for security.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 30 customers using this solution. We support other IT service providers who don't have knowledge about IT security.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is straightforward. The length of time it takes for the implementation can vary drastically based on the organization's network structure. Addiotnanly, how well the organizations want to be protected. An easy installation can be done in two to three hours, and other implementations need much more time to prepare the firewall or to create an object. Adding more complexity to the installation can add one to three days.

What about the implementation team?

The technical team that is needed to support the solution depends on the size of the organization. For smaller companies, we only need one technical engineer on our side and IT support from the customer. Larger companies with substantial-sized departments need much more support personnel. Additionally, we need one person from the management because we have to prepare outage times.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There are many options for payment of the subscription license. You purchase a subscription every one, two, or three years. You can also have monthly subscriptions but we typically offer subscriptions for three years because from the financial perspective it is better to have a three-year subscription.

What other advice do I have?

We don't like Cloud solutions in the IT security area. Firewalls feature critical infrastructures, such as networks. We don't advise our customers to use Cloud solutions.

I would recommend Sophos Cyberoam UTM.

I rate Sophos Cyberoam UTM an eight out of ten.
