Overall Satisfaction with Sophos XG Firewall

Sophos XG Firewall is for those who desire the best network protection in an affordable, reliable and easy to configure and manage package.
I've been using it since UTM migration to XG from version 15 up to version 20. During this time it's only become more manageable and powerful and now even has FIPS mode supported for compliance.
The integration with Sophos Central and MTR makes for an even more safe computing ecosystem but even used "stand-alone" it is a powerful network package protecting and connecting your network.
The latest XGS hardware adds additional speed and efficiency to an already great product.

Very similar and I don't have to compete with Dell

Would you buy Sophos XG Firewall again?

Yes

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.
