Sophos UTm review
What do you like best about the product?
Solid security, ease of setup, great looking GUI and customer support is helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that port forwards have to be done with werid source ports.
Also don't like how network ports can't be bridged and Vlan'd .
Also don't like how network ports can't be bridged and Vlan'd .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security, endpoint protection. Very easy deployment and central is awesome
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solid UTM but do your homework. Port forwarding has caveats like source port has to be 1:63365 or something like that.
Very nice entry level / SMB firewall appliance
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup and the feature provided with this little appliance is absolutely amazing. I was quite impressed by the feature for price. I like the fact that it runs Linux in the background.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is not reachable easily and eventually, you get somebody over the phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The lack of security in a SMB (a customer of mine) who wanted to have more visibility and enforce some security rules inside the teams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sophos UTM is a great entry level firewall who provided access to enterprise features/protections and the entry ticket is low. I really think it worth the investment for SMBs or branch offices.
excellent computer security
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy platform to use, easy to run updates on any operating system and provides security for all applications in use where confidential information is used.
What do you dislike about the product?
No problems with this software. It does its job, and there have been no outstanding complaints in my department (IT) on campus or any other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to ensure security over all computers/laptops at the university I am employed with (Southwestern University). There are no issues with security at this institution, (meaning no viruses or scam-like entities have been encountered) because of our use of Sophos UTM.
Sophos is easy to manage and does the job.
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos basically runs itself, so any kind of update just happens in the background, and we don't have to interrupt class time to make changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't say there's a lot I dislike, except it's not the most extensive anti-virus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos is automatically dealing with threats we likely couldn't catch in time on our own.

Sophos is one of the best protection software
What do you like best about the product?
This tool offers us real-time protection from the firewall. I use it on the school network and for the students, it is the best option. The control platform is very intuitive and truly very comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a downside, I have to say that some students find a way to bypass the Sophos firewall with APN extensions. This is a bit of a hassle for me because I have to log into the platform each time to block these extensions discovered by the students.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the resolved issues of privacy and protection for students against dangerous websites for students.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very intuitive tool and very good protection for the students.
Sophos UTM and Sophos XG
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
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
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.
