I got an email this week about the Sophos renewal, which is only $300.00 more per year in maintenance than replacing it with Ubiquiti gear with no maintenance cost, and was renewed the month before I came on staff.
Oh the joys of IT.
-
Are there features being used on the Sophos that Ubnt doesn't have?
For example, two reasons I would chose SonicWall in some cases would be for the great gateway antivirus and SSL-DPI.

Are they in use, yes. Are they needed, no. Thus the frustration.

The Sophos gear does IDS, load balancing and a ton of other fun things that Uniquity doesn't do....

I run a Sophos SG-210 here (for the past 2.5 years) and am gun shy on updates because I have seen them break more than they fix. I am seriously considering moving to ubnt next year. The interface on the 9.x UTM version is really easy to learn and use. I really only use a few features. Namely, the routing/firewall, gateway AV, proxy and IDS. I tried application control (for throttling Youtube) but it never worked correctly and that was when we only had a 10/10 Mbps connection. Now we have 150/150 so it is less of an issue.

The Sophos AV broke the presentation application they were moving to, just for a little icing on the cake.
Ubiquiti does load balancing last I checked. Granted it doesn't do IDS, but that's something easily covered by other open source things.
I almost forgot the microserver without a hypervisor installed. Makes me wonder about the state of IT in general

Sorry to hear that man! I don't know which industry are you in but that usually is the determination of what you need.

This is what I keep hearing... slow, expensive, and fragile.

@scottalanmiller - Do the Ubiquiti Edge Routers have the network, host and service definitions approach to ACLs, like SonicWall, Sophos, etc?

NO, because it is not a IDS/IPS/UTM device.

@jaredbusch - I didn't think that those key features made the difference in terms of user interface and usability.

Key features? What key features? Those are fairly useless feature IMO.

Sure - but the definitions you listed do make a difference.
i.e. Edge OS calls out ports and IPs, that's all.

Only key in that you mentioned them, specifically, in response to my question.

You named IDS/IPS/UTM devices and asked if Ubiquiti was feature parity. I said no.
-
@jaredbusch Right but my question was related to ACLs, not IDS/IPS.

Those features were popular in older devices right but not really needed in modern ones correct?

Did they have compliance requirements that would drive IDS/IPS? Honestly, I wouldn't deploy an office network without some sort of layer 7 edge inspection. Users are just too dumb...
-
@storageninja I don't have compliance requirements and I just asking about the definitions-based ACL because it makes sense and I prefer it over lines of IPs and networks.
