Sophos XG Reviews

We use the solution as our HQ main firewall.

In my experience, the solution was easy to use, has lots of features, and is easy to configure.

There are issues with electricity with this solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The scalability could be better. We have 500 to 1000 users using the solution at my company.

The installation is easy.

The deployment only took an hour for one person to do it.

The hardware is inexpensive but the license is expensive.

I am going to continue using this product and I recommend this product to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

This solution is generally used for environment protection, using the ADR and MTL features. I'm a system administrator and team leader and we are customers of Sophos. 

It is a stable product because it's on the central cloud so there's no management required. 

The MTR feature has to be enhanced. There are some bugs on the ADL which need enhancing. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

This is a stable solution.

Because this is a cloud portal, scalability isn't an issue. It's fully managed by the vendor, we just login to the portal and check the logs and check the updates.

We have Sophos firewalls and were planning to do a full integration with XG, but unfortunately this did not happen.

The initial setup is carried out on the portal so you need to work on the configuration with the respective partner and have the portal accessing all of the environment. It's a simple setup. We have deployed this solution on around 200 machines.

We pay an annual license.

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We are customers of Sophos and I'm the company IT security manager. 

I like that each user has the ability to manage the solution. 

It's a problem that we are not able to investigate incidents, there is no tracking. Security is also lacking in this product. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

Stability is good, no problems. 

Scalability is fine. 

Technical support could be improved, it's not great. 

The price is good, it's not an expensive product.

I would not recommend this firewall to others. 

I would rate this product a seven out of 10.

We use the Sophos XG firewall as part of our network security solution.

The user authentication rules are very useful.

Sophos needs improvements made to the console, such as host entry or defining rules directly from it.

We have been using Sophos XG for the past five years.

I do not feel that this is a stable product. URL filtering is not good.

I have not had any experience with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took a week to deploy.

This is not a product that I can recommend to anybody who wants to implement a firewall.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

This firewall is being used to protect our site.

It's a good security tool and it aligns with the rest of our security stack.

The VPN is in need of improvement. For us, it is hard to set up and it not working properly.

We have been using the Sophos XG at one of our sites for about a year.

This product is part of our infrastructure and we use it every day. The internet stays up with no outages, so I think that Sophos XG is a stable product.

We have not had the need to scale to this point. Our entire organization is protected by it.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to this solution, we were using Meraki. My company has a better partner channel with Sophos, which is why we switched.

Our in-house technical team deployed this firewall.

My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is to trust your techs.

This is a good product, although there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is as an endpoint firewall and proxy.

The features that are most valuable are synchronized security, the security hard build, the application synchronization, and the events synchronization.

it's user-friendly, not complex.

The uploading and downloading of reports should be included.

We are looking for a firewall to block the uploads from the user, not the downloads. I would like to see this feature updated.

In the next release, I would like the uploading and downloading reports to be included.

I have been using this solution for almost two years.

We will be upgrading to the newest version that was released two or three months ago.

This product is stable.

This solution is easily scalable. We have 15 to 20 users.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It's easy to understand and to install.

I am a technical analyst and handling the pre-sales. We provide and implement the solution to our customers.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The simplicity of the setup is the most valuable feature.

Their technical support needs improvement. I've been on hold with them for hours waiting for their support.

I have been using Sophos XG for five years. 

They seem pretty stable. They're pretty good devices when they're up and running. Once you get them up and running they seem to work quite well. It runs 24/7.

They're very scalable.

The setup is easy. We did the deployment ourselves. 

If you pay for the premium support, you'll get better support from Sophos.

I would rate Sophos XG an eight out of ten. 

The integration with their Sophos Central isn't great. That needs some work. If they could work on the integration with Sophos Central, that would be great.

We primarily use this solution for bandwidth control, intrusion prevention, and network security.

We now have visibility into our network.

Sophos operates using a Synchronized Security in its XG platform. It is facilitated by an active connection with all of the network endpoints. This connection operates like a heartbeat, notifying the firewall instinctively when an endpoint has been infected or compromised. The firewall then quarantines the problem area and provides detailed information on how the endpoint was compromised. This kind of strategic technology makes it much easier to remove malware and address vulnerabilities quickly.

It would be great if the user can have a portal to check on activities related to their account.

We have been using Sophos SG for two years.
