We have an over specced Sophos but have 6 months of issues with the filtering with and issue that "Sophos" have said we are the only ones in the world with. Sophos have taken too long to resolve patches, firmware and issues. So we're swapping to something else.

Well Suited : Medium to Large Organization, where you have complex network infrastructure and where you need to use VPN, Advanced threat protection, Web filtering and application controls and vast security.
Less Suited : For Small organization, where you have simple and straight forward network setup and less budget.

Excellent for business network protection. Model size and speed can be selected based on Internet speed linked and number of users. I always install wireless using individually installed APs sold separately.
Sophos XG Firewall can be installed in a monitor only configuration but is best when implemented as a full router with ability to filter and block threats, apps, intrusion or web and DNS requests.

The XG is an affordable device that offers many features for small to medium businesses allowing them to get a ton of functionality out of one device instead of buying several. We use it for quite a few things and when we've needed support they have been able to help us there as well.

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.

I think this firewall is good for every industry, if you belong to [a] credit card industry then you should buy this product because you [will] need to scan every packet deeply and this firewall can help you. You can choose advanced IPS and sandbox for this. Lots of others features are also available to protect your organization from external attacks.

Sophos XG Firewall is well suited for Medium & Large scale infrastructure having multiple departments. Sophos XG Firewall has a bucket of features. Encryption feature is one of the best use in our organization. The Console UI needs an update.

If you're looking for a scenario where you need to control internet access, you can go very detailed, blocking just Facebook streaming but allowing Facebook in general. It has all prebuilt choices for you to make. You can even separate the users in AD Group and categorize who gets how many quota of internet per day.
