The UTM is meant for small and mid-sized enterprises. Like cyberoam UTM this

device provides high availability which makes it ideal to deploy in mission

critical systems. It also provides bandwidth management, with which you can

prioritize your traffic, allocate bandwidth, etc. Unlike the USG 200, it doesn't

have anti-spam built into it. Compared to USG 200, it has fewer virus

signatures. In our tests, it performed well compared to others. Initially we

tested it for its anti-virus capabilities. It didn't block most of the viruses,

especially the macro viruses.

But it blocked all the live or active viruses which we had. Like all the UTMs

in the shootout, it blocked the eicar test virus also. It consists of 3200 virus

signatures whereas, the USG 200 consists of 8200. The concept behind it is to

increase the performance of the device. Next we tried the port jamming attack

which was successfull. Then we tried the Arpspoof attack which this device

failed to detect. Also the device successfully detected and logged the DOS

attack and port scanning.

Bottomline: This device is good in case you already have desktop level

protection to take care of old viruses and spam.
