Sophos XGS Reviews

Sophos XGS is used by our customers as a firewall. It is a gateway or perimeter security device. We use content filtering for applications, bandwidth management, VPN, or as a web application firewall. We are using all of the features, such as authentication, captive portal, and single sign-on.

The most valuable features in Sophos XGS are bandwidth management, content filtering, and WAN link management failover. If one internet activity or one link would fail, automatically it will switch over to another one.
