Verdict

The SG120 sits at the entry point of Astaro’s extensive range of security appliances, which all run the company’s Security Gateway software.

Pros: Good hardware specification; application proxies; wide range of UTM capabilities; optional remote management software.

Cons: Tedious setup process; configuration not straightforward; pricey UTM features.
