What do you like best about the product?
It complies widely what it promises, it provides a robust, efficient and stable security solution and at a very competitive price, it also gives freedom to security management, allowing this time for other activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
For being a solution designed for small and medium enterprises, for use in large corporations only apply in very specific cases, is something I'm sure will change in the not too distant future
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creation of secure channels, providing rights to users and management of the Wi-Fi network, reinforcing the range of remote security are some of the solutions that we carry out with Sophos today.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For security platforms you must have a work plan, if you are looking for an efficient solution and at a comptitive price you should check this option well

Powerful and easy to use

  • July 13, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos UTM is an easy to manage firewall which can get you working very quickly. You can create rules with multiple objects each with a different subnet. This helps in reducing the amount of firewall rules required and makes it quicker to manage. NAT is also very easy to set up in the firewall and this includes complicated Full NATs where the source and destinations are both changed. You can also connect Sophos Access Points where you can setup captive portals with AD login or Voucher based access etc.. Compared to other competitors we have tried Sophos is powerful and very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
No rule hit counter which could help cleaning unused rules. No cli for granular control if required. IPS performance affects real time traffic like video or SIP. No support for elliptic curve crypto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we are so used to Sophos we can quickly and very efficiently set up VPNs and complicated NAT which sometimes is needed to be done very quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As with other firewalls trial is key. Everyone has different tastes and requirements.

Great protection for Windows machines

  • July 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to roll out from a Sophos firewall to windows computers on our network. Being able to make sure everything is up to date and implemented from the firewall is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We recently started moving all of our end user computers to Apple. Sophos does not have a proper distribution of this software for Macs that can be controlled from the firewall. It ends up being a free, standard antivirus product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enduser protection and not having to be concerned about our end user devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using a sophos firewall, but you are a apple product heavy enviroment, it will not have the full features it would with windows.

Decent AV Software

  • July 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easily deployment from the master console. Policies are fairly easy to set and apply. We were able to utilize this for securing our environment by setting computer policies such as USB lockdown, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Uninstalling from a machine is quite the chore. It is a several step process that is time consuming. Doing this en mass was very difficult when we had issues from our deployment at one point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Antivirus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Uninstalling the application is very difficult if it is needed to be done in mass.
