  • It is a good return for us when considering the 2FA for remote users control.
  • Making connectivity between sites or branch offices is less hostile.
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.
It is a good and pleasant experience to use Sophos XG firewall and it offers more then what we expect and the price is ok in the current market level
As we are all addicted to graphics-oriented interfaces for all our life products. Easy to manage and access as a good way of using anything

Sophos XG is being used in our main headquarters and also branch office. We also use the entry level to separate the business and production network. This was used to replace our L-3 firewall, Juniper SSG when we were evaluating a next-gen firewall.
  • Reporting.
  • Broad VPN choices to connect.
  • Intuitive interface.
  • Mobile app is needed for IT folks.
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.

  • We manage to control productivity and efficiency by sharing department's internet usage.
  • Sandbox features that are built in probably would have saved us from a lot of issues.
Honestly we didn't get the premium support from them, but our partner has been supportive. Online forums are also a good place to learn things from.
