Our organization found that Cyberoam is a cost-effective solution compared to other vendors. Cyberoam was having issues with SSO for Web Filtering. For, web filtering and application blocking, Cyberoam does not contain enough signatures or data so we can not achieve the goal of all of the sites that need to be blocked. Cyberoam is great because of its ease of use feature.

Each of the products does have some overlap so that customers can choose the right appliance for their use case.

• They should consider a current market analysis and see how the market is changing and adapting with other lower cost appliances for their product line up.
