Verified User Technician Chose Sophos 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 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 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 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?

Pros	Sophos Web filtering. This allows us to monitor web usage and block certain categories from being access at the perimeter. Application Control. With application control we can block certain applications that get categorized from working accessing the Internet. Synchronized Security. When utilizing the Sophos Endpoint product you can use Synchronized Security to minimize Lateral Movement in a network. If a machine is shows a Red status you can auto-isolate it and it is unable to communicate with anything else on the network. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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.
