The best firewall solution for any business small to large!
What do you like best about the product?
How through it is. It protects EVERY aspect of our data coming in and going out. The reporting and alerts are fantastic in assisting in tracking down issues within the network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming when setting up access to certain rules, ports, sites, etc. But Sophos support is spot on and always there to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps all of our data safe, keeps our users (rather they be guests or employees) safe, we don't have to worry about data breaches. Peace of mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are worried about network security, look no further.
Greatest Firewall/UTM Product I Have Ever Used
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. Interface is superb and the ability to quickly configure advanced routing, static routes, DNS, DHCP relays using object-based configurations just makes the unit so easy to use. I don't have time to work through Cisco router CLI, this Sophos UTM does the job of a router and more with the time to configured about 1/3 of the time required for other vendors. The logs are extremely clear to read through and identify issues if reported by end users. And let me not forget that the Up2Date firmware process is so easy, when you have to do firmware updates on other appliance types you immediately miss the convenience.
What do you dislike about the product?
POP3 Scanning requires Accounts, although it does scan POP3 messages, it is unclear how to configure it properly from the beginning. A bit too much research required to get POP3 scanning running smoothly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved Performance for End-Users across the board. Simplified Security policies by Network, User, User Group, Time-Based Policy, Granular Categorisation and recategorisation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to be able to deploy and managed reliable and secure appliance, the Sophos UTM running UTM9.x is the right choice. The ability to centrally manage and monitor all appliances from a Sophos UTM manager with no addiitonal licensing is invaluable. The TotalProtect(FullGuard) license/subscription includes warranty for the hardware, and the High Availability is extremely effective and easy to support.
Solid, Feature Rich, Reliable product!
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is simple, the controls logical... these things are just bullet proof!
What do you dislike about the product?
The next generation (XG firewalls) really mangle the UI, making it much less user friendly... Sticking with UTM for now!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
UTM protects my business network and keeps me informed of its health and status. it blocks serious threats in real time!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with UTM over the XG for now...
