Appgate
It is best suited for larger companies with lots of remote workers that need complex access management. We've barely scratched the surface on what Appgate can do via its API.

For our small and medium-sized businesses Sophos Virtualization Security has been a perfect fit. I barely recognize it is even in place as an end user, and as a manager my team never complains - it just works and works very well. If you want an easy to use and seamless solution, this is it.

Sophos
  • Antivirus is old hat for Sophos - we haven't had a single breach since its implementation
  • Managing and deploying Sophos was very seamless
  • Its non-intrusive nature to the end user has been better than any of our prior options.

Cons
Appgate
  • Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
  • Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.

  • Instead of automatically installing our previous solution, we had to manually do it, but it may have been that solution that caused the issue.

The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.

The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.

Sophos Virtualization Security has the brand recognition and the customer support that really sold us on the solution. The pricing was also very competetive and Sophos came highly suggested from our vendor and references.

  • We are achieving our goals with this tool by hiding resources behind it.
  • It is a new model that requires a different thought process for many in network operations.

  • Security is like life insurance - you can spend as much as you want and still not be fully covered... but with Sophos, you don't have to overly spend to feel covered.
