Sophos XGS Reviews

We used it to create rules to monitor our network environment properly, using the standard.

It's great because we can create and manage firewall rules, add policies to those rules, and generate detailed reports. It has helped us protect our network and meet compliance requirements.

The policies are the greatest feature. They allow us to configure granular control over our network traffic.

The speed of report generation could be improved.

I have been using it for one year. I used version 16.5, and I also used version 17 of the product.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate it highly for scalability. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

I had a little bit of experience with another firewall solution, but not much.  

It is easy to deploy and manage.

The pricing is okay. 

I would recommend go ahead and use it. It's a great product. I have this product in my house as well. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution to secure networks and traffic for our customers.

The solution is easy to use and provides regular updates. Along with this, it is network friendly as well. Thus, we can easily control and monitor the devices.

The solution's pricing and stability could be better.

We have been using the solution for three years.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability a seven or eight. Sometimes, we encounter stability issues.

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability an eight or nine. Our clients for the solution are enterprise businesses.

The solution's technical support is good.

Positive

The solution is easy to install. It takes a day or two to complete depending on the use cases. We require one technician for its deployment. Also, its maintenance process involves adding connections, managing them, and checking the errors.

We have the solution's annual license. Its price is moderate, but it could be cheaper. Also, there are additional costs involved as it requires appointing IT experts.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as seven out of ten.

The primary use case is for recommending it to my customers who are using it right now.

The feature that I find most valuable is the synchronized security option where the endpoint talks to the firewall.

Level one technical support is not good at all and needs to be improved.

I have been using Sophos XGS for the past six years or more. 

The stability is very good for Sophos XGS.

Sophos XGS is scalable. I am currently working with anywhere between five to forty users.

I was working with Fortinet before switching to Sophos XGS.

The initial setup is straightforward. The basics are easy, but it is all the extra features that take a long time to deploy.

The pricing for Sophos XGS is reasonable.

I would rate Sophos XGS an eight out of ten.

Sophos XGS's best features are its VPN and ATPR1 cert protection. It's also very user-friendly and makes managing roles and policies very easy.

There are some issues with conversion and user roles when upgrading to Cyberoam.

I've been using Sophos XGS for two years.

Sophos XGS is stable.

Sophos XGS is scalable.

Sophos's technical support is excellent.

I previously used Cyberoam, but Sophos XGS's licensing is easier.

Sophos XGS's pricing is very affordable.

I would give Sophos XGS a rating of ten out of ten.

We mostly use the solution as a standard firewall and email protection. 

The solution overall is fine.

It offers an easy initial setup. 

The solution is stable. 

We ultimately chose Sophos due to its good reputation and good price.

Part of the web application firewalling could be improved.

We'd always like the solution to be a bit less in terms of cost.

We bought appliances at the beginning of 2020, so we've used it for more than two years.

It is stable and reliable. It offers good performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

In terms of the overall stability of devices, I would rate it eight out of ten. 

We have around 215 people using the solution. 

I didn't need any support from Sophos. I can't speak to how they would be if someone required help. 

We found the implementation process to be easy. It's not overly complex at all. 

The costs are reasonable. I'd rate them three out of five. They could be a bit cheaper, however, it's not too bad. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They are pretty good overall. 

We are system integrators implementing Sophos fvarious of clients, including government agencies, industry, small offices, and schools. We can implement this solution for any organization. They have Sophos on the cloud, but we only install on-premises for our clients. 

We receive an email report on the number of attacks Sophos has stopped each day. Since we installed the solution, the number of detected attacks has increased considerably. 

Web filtering and intrusion detection are essential features. As system integrators, we also like the dashboard because it's easier to configure all the features.

Our only issue is the price.

I started working with Sophos about four years ago.

Sophos is stable.

Sophos is scalable. You can do high availability and a lot of other things with it.

I rate Sophos' support five out of 10. It's sometimes difficult to contact them, and finding a solution is not easy.

Sophos is one of the best solutions on the market, but Meraki and FortiGate are on the same level. We only work with Sophos and Meraki. We don't use any other vendors. Meraki is installed for specific situations, but we use Sophos for the rest.

There is an installation wizard, so the deployment is straightforward. The basic installation takes about an hour. However, it takes longer to build a customized solution for a client with multiple policies that must be configured. It is easy to do it, but it takes time.

After the deployment, there isn't much maintenance. They notify us when they need to install an update.  We can do it without rebooting the system, so the customer has no downtime. 

I rate Sophos XGS five out of 10 for affordability. Sophos has several license tiers. The basic license is Network Protection, and you can purchase additional modules. Right now, if I want to upgrade one client to the new one, they give me a 99 percent discount on hardware. However, the hardware cost is nothing because the license is expensive.

I rate Sophos XGs nine out of 10. Aside from the price and the support, the solution is excellent. My only advice is to be careful because you cannot renew the license again once Sophos products reach the end of life. You have to purchase a new solution.

Our team of implementation partners serve as consultants and resellers of the solution. 

The solution offers more antimalware and antivirus feeds than others and it is simple to implement the application from one rule. 

The solution's interface is very good. 

The solution could improve inspection processes and troubleshooting for VPNs because this area is very weak. 

Improvement in VNET protection is also needed. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support is very good. 

We implement this solution and other firewalls such as WatchGuard. A company's size such as small, medium, or enterprise determines the best solution. 

The setup is simple but troubleshooting is complex. 

The pricing is very good. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Sophos XGS can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise.

Sophos XGS is used as a perimeter security solution.

The most valuable features in Sophos XGS are identity and VPN. It is a very good solution that is able to detect and prevent a lot of malicious activity.

Sophos XGS could improve the automation system. It could be better if there was some level of automation, attacks automation, meaning if this happens, then it automatically executes a particular process.

I have been using Sophos XGS for approximately five years.

Sophos XGS is stable.

The stability of Sophos XGS is good.

We have approximately 200 people using this solution in my organization. The users are edge devices using the solution. 

Sophos XGS has good support.

I have previously used Fortinet and MikroTik.

The initial setup of Sophos XGS is easy for network engineers. The time it takes to deploy the solution depends on many factors. However, on average it takes approximately two hours.

The price of Sophos XGS is average compared to other offers from other OEMs.

I would recommend that others consider using the endpoint solution from the same OEM.

I rate Sophos XGS a nine out of ten.
