Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cyberoam was being used in one of our branch offices, we could easily manage 100 employees with accurate UTM features. Traffic shaping is also highly reliable, bandwidth was properly shared among staff with Cyberoam. We could also prioritize based on the sudden bandwidth requirements, overall good for medium utilities and enterprises.

Pros and Cons

Accurate and precise bandwidth shaping
Utm features are completely reliable,uses mainly for conducting exams smoothly.

SD Wan features require more clarity.
Traffic shaping policy is a missing feature.

Return on Investment

Considerable change was noted in the utilization of administrators after switching from the software firewall.
It is relatively better priced when compared to FortiGate.
Better log handling after the switch.

Alternatives Considered

Fortinet FortiGate

FortiGate is more costly, that is probably the only reason for considering Cyberoam over FortiGate. Remaining all other criteria, FortiGate has surpassed Cyberoam.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cyberoam is well suited for enterprises or institutions which require good and precise UTM features which could be used to conduct secure exams and to maintain a strict cyber environment. it is less suited for enterprises with a good change management process, as it would require experienced administrators to main this firewall.

Precise traffic shaping, advanced and updated UTM features.
