PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Chose Sophos UTM The Linksys was a router, so the comparison isn't quite the same, but I previously worked on a SonicWall firewall.

Matt James Systems Administrator \| POS Programming Specialist Chose Sophos UTM The Meraki firewalls are kind of like the little brother of the UTM devices. They work really well and integrate nicely, but it would be better suited for a business that using nothing but Meraki gear. pfSense is a great free tool, but not very business oriented nor is the … Incentivized Helpful? Jon Shurtliff IT Director Chose Sophos UTM The high feature set of Sophos, along with the price point made it a perfect fit for our organization.

Verified User Technician Chose Sophos UTM Unlike Sophos UTM, Dell SonicWall's features are mostly subscription based which means you'll have to purchase additional items such as VPN connectivity per user etc. Incentivized Helpful? Karim Kronfli Head of IT Chose Sophos UTM All firewalls take some learning to get used to the interface, but the Sophos UTM makes more sense than the Cisco ASA or the SonicWall interface.

Juan Carlos Sanchez Pignalosa CEO And Founder Chose Sophos UTM Sophos delivers great throughput, and great and simple WebGUI.

User Testimonials
	Sophos UTM
Likelihood to Recommend	Sophos UTM works great if you want a solid, obvious firewall. There's not a lot of second-guessing as to what you are about to do with every change you make. If you incorporate their wireless access points and RED (remote ethernet device) for remote users or small offices, it's considerably much easier to set up than other comparable solutions. If you are looking to manage your firewalls via the cloud, you are out of luck. Incentivized PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Read full review
Pros	Sophos Firewall Protection. The protection is unmatched, setup it a little daunting, but once set up it pretty much runs itself. Site-to-site VPN. Super easy to deploy so we are able to network all our sites together. The DHCP server function is actually really nice, I prefer using it over the traditional way of using a DC for DHCP.

Cons	Sophos Better standard support, it used to be great, now, not so much (for paying customers, that only aquired the Hardware) Better wireless solution, there is always room for that, now that everybody needs robust wifi, even at home! Faster and more robust wireless Access Points, or different vendor-like compatibility. Incentivized Juan Carlos Sanchez Pignalosa CEO And Founder Read full review
Usability	Sophos The interface is no non-sense and easy to understand. No need for any consultants to help implement this solution. The performance is consistent and solid. Paired with a good amount of firmware and definitions, it's hard to find any fault in this product. It's interoperability with other Sophos products make a compelling argument to invest in more Sophos products. Incentivized PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Sophos I find the support fair. The wait can be frustrating when dealing with fire. The pandemic has not helped with this. Although the wait can be long, the support reps are knowledgeable and was able to resolve the issues I was facing. Incentivized MC Michael Cattano Sr. Systems Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Sophos I would rate Sophos second on this list right below Webroot. Webroot has an easier user interface and policy builder. However, Sophos would be on top of its UI would be improved. I would rank CrowStrike third and McAfee last. Sophos is great for complex environments that have multiple needs.

Return on Investment	Sophos Sophos has provided a secure Firewall for us. Integration with Sophos Central makes it easier to manage both. Site to site VPN Failover groups has caused more trouble than it's worth. High availability doesn't recognize when you are restarting for an update.
