Sophos Firewall Reviews

We deploy the solution for our customers.

It is a next-generation firewall. It has all the security features and operates as a next-generation firewall for the company.

The solution is cost-effective and easy to manage.

It's a stable and reliable product.

The initial setup is straightforward and simple to manage.

I can't recall coming across any missing features. 

Support could be improved.

We've been using the solution for two years now. 

The product is stable. the performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I'm not sure about the scalability. I've never tried to scale.

However, it's my understanding that you need to replace the firewall if you need to expand.

We have more than ten people on the product.

The Sophos support is bad. It needs to be improved. they are not helpful or responsive enough. The system for support is not that good. Sometimes they are not able to resolve the issue. 

It offers a pretty simple and straightforward setup. It's not hard to manage the process.

The deployment is quick. If you have the skills, the firewall may only take a few minutes to set up.

The pricing is pretty reasonable. It's relatively cost-effective. 

There is a licensing fee the customer has to pay. The license is yearly. We have what I believe is a two-year agreement.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

The product is cost-effective and if you're not looking for high speed it's quite good.

Sophos XG is an on-premise next-generation firewall with comprehensive features and the console is centralized on the cloud.

Sophos XG could improve Data Loss Prevention(DLP).

I have been using Sophos XG for approximately two years.

Sophos XG is a stable solution.

The scalability of Sophos XG is good.

We have approximately 20 users using the solution.

The support is a bit behind compared to other vendors.

The installation is straightforward and only took one and a half hours.

We have one or two people for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

My customers pay a license for one or three years to use Sophos XG.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for incoming and outgoing computer traffic. It has advanced Samsung features, which means it adds IPS to each of the packets. It creates different zones and manages of each of them individually. It can also be managed from the central cloud solution, known as the super central. It works with most devices. 

The server comes with web server protection and and provides application, email and avenue protection, meaning the solution boasts many features. 

The solution is really cool and has a very user friendly GUI. 

It comes with a common bundle which comprises all the feature. There is no need to get one edition, just the license. With Cisco, I must get different bonds and types, but Sophos XG has all the bundles in a single box. 

While it is possible to configure between two of the solution's devices in the same model, the high available usually fails. We are talking about when there are two devices running concurrently. When it comes to the traffic, there is a distribution of load balancing and the upworking. This is what is meant by high availability. 

I have been using Sophos XG for three years.

The solution is definitely stable. 

For sure, the solution is scalable. 

We did not use a different solution prior to Sophos XG. 

The installation is extremely straightforward. 

Deployment takes one hour, tops. 

Installation can be done on one's own. 

The same holds true of deployment. 

There is no need to get one edition, just the licensing, as we are talking about a common bundle which encompasses all the features. 

Unlike Cisco, which requires the purchase of different bonds and types, Sophos provides all of the bundles in a single box. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Sophos XG as a nine out of ten. 

The most valuable features are its nice interfaces and configuration. The endpoint is also very good.

Areas for improvement would be the access points and the on-premise version, which is very bad.

I've been using this solution for two years.

The technical support is very, very bad.

Sophos is about three or four years behind FortiGate. I would score this solution nine out of ten.

We are resellers of Sophos XG and I'm the company's managing director. 

I like the firewall endpoint and email encryption that Sophos XG provides.

As with solutions like Palo Alto and other firewalls, the SD-WAN needs to be rigorously and aggressively improved because when we provide this solution to our customers, it often fails at the network security level. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

The stability of this product is good, we've never had any complaints from our customers. 

The scalability is fine. 

Licensing costs for this product are reasonable. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

Sophos XG is used as our firewall.

We are an MSP, and we have a variety of clients with varying needs. It is a solution that is tailored to each of our clients and their specific requirements.

The most valuable feature of this solution is flexibility.

Scalability could be improved. It could be better.

I have been working with Sophos XG for approximately six years.

Sophos XG is a stable solution.

It is scalable in the majority of cases. We've had a couple of problems.

Our main application is for medium-sized companies.

We are also using FortiGate.

The initial setup is easy, it's straightforward.

The technical support is good. We have no problems with technical support.

The price is reasonable but it would be great if it was reduced to half the price.

I would recommend this solution. They all have different strengths and weaknesses, it all depends on the environment.

I would rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

The solution acts as a filter. 

A valuable feature involves the solution's manageability. 

Even though things work on the back end, we have encountered bugs in the solution. 

User interface and integration can stand improvement.

I have been working with Sophos XG for two or three years. 

Owing to the fast and adequate response time we get, we do not have complaints about the stability. 

Scalability is not an issue for us, as we are getting the requisite support, with fast response time. 

The price is good for the moment. 

We are a provider of services to our customers.

I would recommend this product to others. 

I rate Sophos XG as a seven out of ten, owing to the bugs we have come across. 

I am using Sophos XG for network security.

The most valuable features are the reporting, dashboards, and graphical user interface. It gives a good overall picture of what is happening over the network.

There have been some issues when upgrading. For some reason, parts of the configuration become unconfigured, I then have to reconfigure it. I should not need to keep reconfiguring it after upgrades.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

There needs to be more tutorials and documentation. I have not done a lot of configuration because I need more training.

We were previously using Cyberoam.

The initial setup was not difficult to complete. I have not been trained as a Sophos administrator and it would have been easier if I had training. 

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.
