Sophos Firewall : A Comprehensive Look at Security and Performance

  • January 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been working with the Sophos firewall for several months now and I have found it to be a reliable and robust solution for our network security needs. One of the things that I appreciate most about this firewall is its ease of use. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple for our team to configure and manage the firewall. Another great feature of the Sophos firewall is its advanced threat protection. It uses multiple layers of security to protect against a wide range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. This has been crucial in keeping our network and data safe from potential cyber-attacks. The reporting and monitoring capabilities of the firewall are also impressive. The firewall provides detailed reports on network traffic and security events, which allows us to quickly identify and respond to any potential issues. Additionally, the firewall can be easily integrated with other security tools and systems, making it a great addition to our overall security strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
One potential drawback of the Sophos firewall is that some users may find the interface to be less user-friendly than other options, making it more difficult to navigate and customize settings. Another thing that I dislike is that it has a higher cost than other firewall options. This could be a concern for organizations with a limited budget. Overall, while the Sophos firewall is a solid option for many organizations, it may not be the best fit for those with particularly specialized or advanced security needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos firewall is a reliable and robust solution that effectively addresses a wide range of security threats. It provides advanced threat protection, including intrusion prevention, malware and ransomware protection, and application control, which help to keep our network and data safe from cyber attacks. One of the biggest benefits of using Sophos firewall is its ability to prevent unauthorized access to our network. The firewall's built-in access control features allow us to create granular policies that restrict access to sensitive data based on user roles and network locations, which ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive information. Sophos firewall also provides a high level of visibility and control over network traffic. The firewall's advanced reporting and analytics features allow us to monitor and analyze network activity in real-time, which gives us the ability to quickly identify and respond to any potential security threats.

My experience has been one of security knowledge upgrade

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos firewall is simply easy to use, from the brilliant easy-to-use user interface to the simple integrated hardware. Integrating the firewall with other third-party services was pleasant and efficient
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of using the firewall is integrating the Sophos firewall with the Sophos central. The connection has not been fully integrated to present a better log collection platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos firewall has created an easy-to-use interface for setting up rules, and VLANS and that has made it easier for a security officer to handle policies and develop regulations related to organizations.

A Great Alternative to Some of The Bigger Players In The Market

  • November 17, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos' firewalls do a great job of streamlining some of the more complex features available on most modern firewalls.
Things like configuring site-to-site tunnels require significantly fewer steps than a Meraki or Sonicwall.
Managing firewall rules and routing are also more intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside we have with the general Sophos line is being unable to have built-in LTE that allows for configuration over that LTE band backend.
This was the primary reason we switched over to another firewall vendor, however we do still utilize Sophos units with clients that do not wish to pay the monthly LTE service fee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos units make managing firewall functions easy. The object creation is straightforward and setting up firewall rules is easier, while requiring less steps, than other vendors on the market.

A simple but effective firewall appliance

  • August 30, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Sophos XG firewall appliance running UTM v9 software is an affordable way to achieve a very good level of perimeter security. The XG-210 model we use is adequate for SMEs, smaller sites and branch offices and does the job well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite being easy to use, the web console can be a bit tedious to use. Moreover, it can be necessary to manually force-check for updates from time to time, and the updates almost always require a reboot, which is a problem for always-on 24/7 services. It is therefore recommended to run two devices in failover mode or in high-availability mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With two redundant and synchronised Sophos UTM firewalls, we're able to efficiently protect the perimeter of our hosting sites and if one of the appliances were to fail, the other one would take over and continue to protect our servers.
