Sophos Firewalls: Good Value and Great for SMB's
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very cost effective solution. It packs a lot of value with features. The obn-boarding is very smooth and good for organizations that do not have a lot of IT expertise in-house available. Good for both Medium sized and small business alike.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sophos Admin Consoles are klunky and a little disjointed. Their workflows are not like anything else on the market, so it takes time to get used to it. It is designed by Engineers for Engineers. You spend a lot of time jumping around to completely different areas in the console for dealing with a single issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing our Datacenter and Branches. We removed our MPLS network and implement SD-WAN between our branches. There is good endpoint security, web filtering and application control along with Sophos Central integration for cloud management.

Sophos Firewall review
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with Sophos Central is clean and makes remote management really straightforward. The UI is intuitive for most day-to-day tasks, and the security features (like web filtering, IPS, and application control) are solid out of the box. I also like how it ties in with other Sophos products—it’s clear the ecosystem was designed to work well together.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like for Sophos Central to be able to connect to the firewalls more reliably. I find myself never really using Central and just interfacing with the firewall directly as it's more responsive. Certain rules and NAT translation rules are a little hard to keep track of when linking to rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RED tunnels and site to site VPN quite effective.

Useful and manageable Cybersecurity Team
What do you like best about the product?
Central management, intuitive interface, very useful and practical cybersecurity tool. Facilitates the monitoring and control of network services. Allows very practical control for local and WAN network services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version updates are very frequent and with certain changes, it does not save those configurations. The NAT and SDWAN section is repetitive in having to select the source networks. We have had the bad experience that when restarting the Sophos for any reason, it no longer starts and the device is diagnosed as RMA.

The protection against current threats, safeguard the information. Control productive internet consumption.

8 years of Sophos with firewalls, REDs and End Point Solutions
What do you like best about the product?
It's not the easiest solution to setup when You start to work with it, but appears You just have to get used to logic that Sopgos uses and then everything starts to flow. Even if we get some roadblocks, local support really helps in daily questions and urgent cases. And overall bang for the buck is really attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some UI features and some UI visually has to step up compared to competitors. Of course there are even worse vendors with even worse UI, but it needs to step up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of course - security. Helps to protect from outside and inside risks.
Secondary - helped to connect our branches to main main office without need to buy expensive VPNs from ISP vendors.

Experience with Sophos firewalls have been fantastic for us. Easy to deploy, configure and go live. Secondly, the story of synchronized security works for customers as Sophos is not only seen as a firewall player but also as an end to end security partner
