Sophos UTM - My Gatekeeper

  • March 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our Sophos SG230 has provided as much bang for the buck as we could get when it comes to protecting and administering our network security. It has all of the baseline firewall functionality in the definitions and rules that are either automatically set up or added by the user. I love the additional security I see as it blocks traffic to known bad actors using the Sophos database which though not as extensive as Cisco's is still quite substantial. I've seen this thing alert and block the wrong thing enough times to know I don't want to live with anything less and am seriously considering an XG230 in the near term. It also does a great job with the Sophos Wireless Access points.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is complicated at times and you have to manually perform firmware updates. I would love to see that scheduled from the dashboard. I would love to see more granularity on the monitoring and reporting of traffic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Sophos we had an infection that would have been stopped by the Sophos SG230. The current situation is so bad it's depressing. The network is under constant attack and probing for absolutely the worst of reasons. There is an army arrayed against us and products such as the Sophos UTM are our early warning system, first line of defense and counter-intelligence agency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at Sophos and keep in mind the companion products such as endpoint protection, WAPs, the variety of VPN flavors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Do not like that sometimes I don't get emails fro multiple days that would've been helpful to get earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam/many emails

Sophos I was actually the one who recommended them from prior experience with them at my home. I had called them randomly with a problem with my home computer and they walked me through fixing it without me ever being a member or having their software.
Thjat is impressive!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well obviously security. There are multiple properties that we communicate with online and we had a lot of issues with hacking and it was getting really bad. Once this was in place life as a manager was much easier.
