With all that I had to learn about the firm's infrastructure, I was happy to discover how common sense and simple the UTM interface was. Since then I've deployed Sophos UTMs at several of our other office locations. Sophos UTM makes creating VPN tunnels straightforward and adding additional other network components like wireless access points almost effortless in comparison to some other enterprise-grade WAP configurations.,Common-Sense firewall setup
Straight-forward multi-site VPN tunnel configuration
Incorporate other Sophos products into your network infrastructure easily,Isn't compatible with Sophos cloud offerings
Sophos says they aren't phasing UTM out, but with UTM not being supported in their cloud offerings, their days seem numbered
Support time could be a little faster,10,Relatively quick setup
Solid VPN tunnel connections
Comprehensive website filtering works great for liability purposes,10,7,SonicWall TZ and Linksys Ethernet Switches,Sophos Secure Email Gateways, SolarWinds ipMonitor, VMware ESXiPaul ChengYour Search for Great Firewall Protection is over.2019-05-17T12:08:57.187ZWe currently use Sophos SG 220s running in an HA environment at all of our locations. Our entire IT department is responsible for the monitoring and upkeep of the UTMs. We use it as a primary firewall and as a site-to-site VPN for seamless integration. On top of all the UTMs, we also have a central management SUM that we use to deploy updates, changes, and rules to each site.,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.,The UI is a bit dated albeit, it is very functional and everything is right at my fingertips.
Better documentation. This hardware and software solution is amazing, but as I said previously, it can be a little daunting to set up.,7,Protection. I know that our data, as wells as our guest's data, is protected when using the UTMs.
Site-to-site. I've said it multiple times but this is an excellent feature that we use constantly.,Cisco Meraki MX Firewalls and pfSense,Zendesk, CenterEdge Advantage, Veeam Backup & Replication, UberConference, Docker, Microsoft Office 365, Slack, Splashtop Business Access, Samanage, Lansweeper, Dropbox BusinessMatt JamesSophos UTM is a perfect fit2018-06-08T20:20:36.217ZWe implemented Sophos UTM across our entire organization over 5 sites and to our entire remote salesforce. I feel Sophos has provided us the protection and security that an organization needs in this era of threats and attacks.
I am happy to report that we have had no breaches or incidents since its implementation.,Sophos was very easy to deploy.
The management console keeps us up to date with all the happens of the product.,We have yet to be able to implement the mobile device management - I'm not sure if that's because it is difficult, or just a daunting task.,9,Sophos came in right on budget for our needs - perfect ROI
Security is like life insurance - you can always buy more, but finding that sweet spot where you are covered just right is key.,Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Symantec Advanced Threat Protection,JIRA Service Desk, KayakoJon ShurtliffSophos UTM the firewall for Network Engineers2017-04-26T16:45:32.738ZWe used Sophos UTM to provide a common manageable firewall infrastructure across over a dozen sites across the globe. It allowed us to protect the sites with URL filtering and anti-virus protection and create a global VPN for a competitive cost. The interface was easy to learn for our engineers and the central management tools helped me monitor the entire estate.,IPSEC VPNs are very easy to set up and I managed to get them to work with several different manufacturers on the other end.
The user interface is reasonably clear and easy to search complex configurations.
High availability is very easy to set up.,When they were Astaro the customer service left a lot to be desired and the hardware could have some quality control problems. Support got much better when Sophos took over.,10,It allowed me to add additional controls to my internet access, reducing my malware risks and allowing me to control access to websites easily.,Cisco ASA and SonicWall TZKarim KronfliSophos UTM in a glance2017-04-17T21:09:03.759ZSophos UTM and Sophos XG Appliances, deliver great security along with affordable pricing for every company. Sophos is great as a visionary company, keeping up with IT Managers' requests for features within their products (specially Sophos SG Appliances and XG NGFWs). Their hardware addresses a constant situation where many competitors fail; they are scalable, and tough (SSDs Hard Drives, and Intel latest generation processors is about it). Recently I found out an opportunity for us, as a company, to deliver something that many competitors fail at, HIGH AVAILABILITY with just 1 license. While other vendors, try to squeeze the companies for every penny, Sophos address that issue, and is honest about it: They deliver High Availability in Active/Passive mode, with two identical hardware options, with just one license (with their main competitor, you MUST buy two licenses, which makes the solution more expensive). Sophos is honest, with their products and technology.,Scalability, if you needed HA in Active/Passive Mode, but need more throughput during certain periods when the parameters change (i.e. number of users, or Internet bandwidth growth) you can always license the second one and it will behave as a Cluster in Active/Active mode in just 2 minutes, with no downtime.
Delivers great WebGUI management, which is easily understandable by every IT Professional
Worldwide RMA, gosh! If you have any kind of issue with your hardware, Sophos will deliver it to your business door, at no cost, with a return label for you to ship the damaged or faulty device back. No questions asked.
Constant visionary technology, with out of this world new features.,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.,10,Great ROI when we decided to change all of our previous UTM products to this, since our team got trained, and the support cases hit rock bottom - almost NO support needed.
Negative impact when we've been asked about a 300 Access Point solution for several projects and we can't deliver a robust wifi solution managed by the UTM.
Great positive impact when our company decided to invest in Sophos by representing them, and we created a very strong goodwill partnership, and almost in every LatAm country everybody knew who Sophos is. Great advertising and marketing campaigns on the Sophos side.,Untangle NG Firewall and Fortinet FortiGateJuan Carlos Sanchez PignalosaSophos UTM Home Version2016-07-26T13:40:05.234ZI am currently using Sophos UTM Home Version to protect my connection at home.,Daily Reporting is a great asset
I love the free AV that I can deploy to my desktops and laptops at home.,Make it easier to setup port forwarding and rules to allow certain things to go thru.
More common settings to port forward and or whitelist things such as IPHONES, DROID's.
When you allow a port to go thru have it automatically add the firewall rule,7,NA
