Sophos UTM vs. Trellix Threat Intelligence Exchange

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.

We use it to protect our workstations from outside the internet attacks and keep our data safe. It also restricts users not to visit malicious websites and block suspicious downloads to the system. But it does take a lot of memory and make the system slow. It is better to have an updated component PC for flawless usage. They can reduce the pricing of the product so even small-scale companies make use of this.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Provide good insights
• Summary of potential attacks
• Helps Prevents security braches

• 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.

• It is heavy on systems, If you have an outdated system then McAfee is not for them.

• Scanning time might take longer then expected
• Pricing is bit high

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.

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.

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.

We already have other McAfee products being used in our organization. Hence the partnership with McAfee has been made. The main reason is its easy to use, it keeps your data safe and priced effectively. What else we expect from a security software. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

• It does provide network and file security for the entire organization.
