Overall Satisfaction with Sophos XG Firewall

Sophos Firewall is the default gateway for the network, handling all internet traffic (both inbound and outbound). We use all features of Xstream Protection + Web Server Protection and E-mail Protection. The Sophos Firewall resolved all issues I had with the old firewall (pfSense), including WebFilter, IPS Protection, Failover link, and load balancing. Today, Sophos XGS is very important in the environment.

Pros

  • IPS
  • Web Filter
  • SDWAN

Cons

  • DLP on E-mails Protection.
  • More settings on Webservers Protection.
  • Mobile app to alerts Sophos Firewall.
  • More visibility of environment.
  • More security.
  • More control Internet access.
The Sophos Firewall was a good choice for me. The first firewall from Sophos was the Sophos UTM9, which is also very good, but the Sophos Firewall is far better.
Very simple to manage, several features, and a report included.

Do you think Sophos Firewall delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Sophos Firewall's feature set?

Yes

Did Sophos Firewall live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Sophos Firewall go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sophos Firewall again?

Yes

Sophos Firewall was an excellent choice to manage my network. The product features several security measures, is easy to operate, and includes default reporting. This was a differentiator because the majority of competitors require the purchase of an additional license to see the reports. I believe that Sophos is not suitable in an environment without an IT professional to manage the solution.
