Sophos UTM is suitable for SME/education institute.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos UTM is stable, I can say it included a lot of features inside one appliance such as AV, IPS, QoS, SD-WAN.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is not friendly enough. I hope Sophos can give more visibility for the logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The reason why I am saying Sophos UTM is good for SMEs is that it's cheaper than markets' firewalls.

Best Firewall Solution On The Market

  • January 31, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have started using Sophos UTM when it was still known as Astaro. While I have been looking at other products to follow new innovations, I consistently found that Sophos delivered the best features in its category. It is fairly easy to setup and it just works. I cannot say the same for many other solutions I have evaluated over the years.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the past few years, Sophos has been telling us that we will soon be able to migrate to their new solution Sophos XG. Sadly, the new solution is behind on features and I have yet to see the promised migration tool. That said, I can see that Sophos XG is a forward looking solution. I just wish that development would move along a little quicker. Why am I talking about Sophos XG here? Well, Sophos has pretty much stopped development on Sophos UTM and so we are only getting fixes and maintenance patches at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It works well protecting my company's assets in the data center. At the same time, we can safely connect our office to work with our SAP servers in the data center.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are running a smaller company like me and are looking for reliable features for your money, you should give Sophos UTM a try. It worked extremely well for us and it allows us to safely connect our office to our SAP servers in the data center.

Sophos Security

  • September 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The company chose Sophos for our systems and it gives us the security of allowing employees to have their company email on their personal devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
To this point, I have not encountered a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The program is available to be downloaded on our mobile devices, which allows employees the ability to have the company email on their private devices. They can review and respond to their email regardless of where they are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recomend this program to other companies. This has brought a secure feeling to allowing employees to use their personal devices to monitor their company email.

Sophos UTm review

  • September 21, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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 .
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

  • September 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

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.
