Good Security "Sophos"

One of the significant features is we can integrate other products of Sophos into this. Easy to use and the training provided by them is very useful for the people who is new to this product.

Technical Support could have been better with their support. Turnaround time they take to reply back to our issues takes longer.

We have not had any problems with the Sophos XG series. Dollar for feature, the Sophos XG line is a fantastic value. We previously had used Cyberoam products, and the Sophos acquisition and enhanced development of the product have been a blessing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With working from home becoming a "new normal", I am able to easily segregate traffic and control Internet bandwidth in my home/office, allocating the resource as needed without needing a separate connection from my ISP. Filtering content for the "non-employee" individuals at my workplace is a huge benefit.
I have had great success with Sophos XG firewalls.

The ease of working with the content filtering for controlling user access.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a little bit of practice to get used to the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem solved was for secure access from remote users and security controls for Internet access. In the past year we realized the power of the platform with an additional load of remote users.
Great Firewall, Great Ecosystem
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XG Firewall is easy to configure and use, but extremely flexible and powerful. Sophos provides excellent training on their products (including the XG firewall), and their support is very helpful. You can download a free trial at any point and setup a test virtual firewall on spare hardware (or as a VM) to become familiar with the firewall and features without any type of commitment or limitation. They also provide a free version of their virtual firewall for home use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some bugs in the XG / SFOS firewall versions, and some feature parity discrepancies between the older firewall OS (UTM) and the XG firewall OS (SFOS), but Sophos has made excellent strides in resolving those issues. The latest major release (SFOS v18) has added an impressive level of flexibility and customization to adapt to modern requirements for firewalls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos XG firewalls work excellently as a one stop solution for routing, firewalling, webserver protection, email gateway, VPN appliance, and more. Sized properly, the firewalls provide more than adequate capacity and throughput. The reporting and Sophos Central integration are excellent, and allow for secure remote administration and great scheduled reporting. The Synchronized Security with Sophos InterceptX for servers and workstations is fantastic, and lets you easily view the applications running in your environment, as well as enforce greater levels of security when an endpoint is compromised.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sophos XG firewall is an excellent choice for a cost effective, feature packed, and security focused firewall. Their training is top notch, and easily accessible on demand. I have seen the Sophos XG firewall operating system and appliance features grow and mature over the years, and they are one of the best firewalls that I have had the pleasure of using.
Superior Firewall

I'd have to say the comprehensive security features and Sophos Central.
