UTM Endpoint vs Enterprise Console

dcerroni
Before Sophos bought Astaro, we were using both products.  Astaro for the Firewall and also Sophos for our Virus Protection.  Our Enterprise Console /Antivirus license is about to expire and I am wondering about the advantages or disadvantages of just using the endpoint feature of the UTM

I believe it is cheaper to upgrade our UTM to allow endpoint than to renew our current Enterprise Antivirus.   We are a smaller company and we do not use many of the Enterprise Console features like Patch, Encryption and Application Control.

Has anyone else had to make the same decision?

Is the UTM endpoint stable?

Any thoughts or insights on UTM's endpoint would be helpful.

Thanks

    We were in the same position a couple of months ago. We have now moved to endpoint protection in UTM.
    This product is still in heavy development (it basically works, but it's in no way the same as EC yet).
    Biggest drawbacks for us were:
    1) UTM install of Sophos Anti-Virus cannot auto uninstall previously installed Sophos Anti Virus
    2) We had EC configured to automatically install to every PC in the domain, now we have to install semi-manual. It's more work for every new PC now (however I think I will go figure a way to do it by GPO's in the future).

    Other than that we're pretty positive and will be even more so if UTM 9.2 comes out. It will have (among other things)
    Release 9.2
    •Improved Endpoint Protection
    •App.Ctrl (client/GW comm.)
    •Device & Media Encr.
    •VPN client
    •UTM Mobile Control
    •Remote Lock & Wipe
    •Central App. Mgmnt.
    •Email Access Mgmnt.
