Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a stable solution."
"It is easy to manage."
"The implementation with the AWS environment was good."
"Sophos integrates seamlessly, and we don't even feel it is running in the background."
"UTM 9 brings along IPSec as well as iPhone and iPad support. This seems small but it’s useful."
"It has allowed us to design a bespoke cloud space for our clients, while still having an excellent level of protection."
"The initial setup has been fine."
"I would recommend UTM over XG because it's easier to manage."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"A very robust product."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"The solution could be improved by adding cloud soundboxing."
"VPN needs IKEv2, but it’s in the roadmap. Also, all new, cool features will only come to the new Sophos XG Firewall."
"There can be a delay when it comes to reaching out to technical support."
"The five-factor authentication needs improvement."
"In Sophos UTM there is always a problem with the routing tables. If you want to see the routing table, you have to use the UI. You can't do it via a web browser. The routing table is better in Fortinet."
"We need a better VPN client for the customers."
"It is a pretty straightforward setup, but it should be some sort of documentation that takes you step-by-step to help set it up for your VPC."
"Sophos UTM's firewall is a bit weak, and some of its features lack depth compared to other products like F5."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"Stormshield Network Security is quite expensive."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
