Incentivized Helpful? Aland Coons Service Manager Chose Sophos XG Firewall Very similar and I don't have to compete with Dell Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose Sophos XG Firewall We have been a Sophos customer for the most part but i have seen some other offerings from SonicWall, Barracuda, and Cisco. While they all offer nice products, we've always been content with our Sophos XG firewalls, especially as they release more and more features/etc. Incentivized Helpful? MG Mike Goularte IT Technician Chose Sophos XG Firewall The firewall that was in use at the first location before expanding was a cheaply made open source box that couldn't do much even as a basic firewall. We had looked at various companies but came to the conclusion that Sophos was the right fit for us and it has been that way for … Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Verma Network Consultant Chose Sophos XG Firewall I was a big fan of Cisco ASA products, but when I saw all of the security feature differences between both firewalls, I moved to Sophos devices. Its sandbox, IPS, and many more features are really advanced. Cisco does not provide features like this. Incentivized Helpful? Basant Gupta Executive System Admin Chose Sophos XG Firewall Cisco ASA is not [a] true next generation firewall if you want to protect from 7 layers and malware attacks then you need firepower services but this service is very costly. In Sophos all the advanced security features are [less] cost[ly]. Helpful? Pretty Varughese IT Executive Chose Sophos XG Firewall Sophos XG Firewall provides easy integration with Active directory & LDAP Servers so that we can implement single sign on (SSO) for users. Also the content filtering & inspection feature protect us from bad actors. Incentivized Helpful? nawas khan Network Engineer Chose Sophos XG Firewall It is to very little surprise that we selected Sophos UTM at our first use. Then, we upgraded to XG Firewall and the operation is very smoothly done. Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Sophos XG Firewall
Likelihood to Recommend	Sophos This is the best product for small-size organizations with a low budget that want advanced and deep-level security features. Sandboxing and advanced malware protection are the most valuable features available on Sophos devices. Other features like applications and web content make your organization more secure, and you can put more restrictions on users. Incentivized Rahul Verma Network Consultant Read full review
Pros	Sophos You can scan every packet deeply through sandboxing. Control the user traffic through content filtering. Put the restrictions on user web traffic through web filtering. Control any type of malware through anti virus. Basant Gupta Executive System Admin Read full review
Cons	Sophos If using Endpoint security and the Firewall it would be nice to have an easier back and forth between the portals rather than have two separate tabs open. Especially if using more than one in multiple locations. If dealing with different revisions options are moved around and sometimes in places that doesn't normally seem like they should be there.
