Hi,

I have deployed some UTM (i will not give you the name). I met lot of
of bug and bad implementation, this result in lot of firmware update
(update = network outage + technician intervention cost).

UTM is maybe a good way for small office but you must take care about
maintenance time.

Appliance which do just one thing (Cisco pix, ...) are generally more
stable and there is no need to update it every 4 month.

Best regards,

Mk,

Hi all,

What are your views about UTMs (Unified Threat Management Sytems)?
We are looking at Sonicwall  Pro 2040 and Pro 3060 for our company. Has
anyone had experience with UTMs ? Any other alternatives to Sonicwall?

You help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
