Gets the Job Done but could be better
We purchased two SG430 Sophos UTM appliances in February 2015. They are being run master and slave for redundancy. We are primarily using them for email, endpoint, and web protection. Previously we were using Barracuda for web, a Sophos email appliance for email protection, and a Sophos SAV server for antivirus. The UTM is adequate, but is not as good as the standalone products.
What are the pros?
The best part was the cost. With the UTM, we were able to get redundancy and replace three systems (web, email, and antivirus) for about the cost of two standalone systems. Our Barracuda device had failed, and the previous Sophos appliance/servers were due for replacement/renewal.
What are the cons?
Our system administrator has been frustrated with the UTM for antivirus endpoint administration. Previously he was used to the Sophos Enterprise Console on a standalone SAV server. The UTM is very slow in the Endpoint section of the web interface once we got more endpoints added (we have around 500). It is not as granular, or flexible to use, and deployment is done separately from the UTM. The Barracuda web filter had more flexible/granular options, and was easier to make changes and have changes go into effect. Sometimes changes made on the UTM do not work. The separate Sophos email appliance had some additional options not present in the UTM. Blacklisting needs more granularity.
