What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos offers top-notch cybersecurity that stands out for its seamless integration, user-friendly interface, and effective protection. I have found their support to be responsive, with quick resolutions and strong product knowledge, especially in areas like LAN, WAN, SSL, and VPN. Our experience with Sophos Central has been excellent—it provides a single cloud-based management solution for all our Sophos next-generation technologies, including endpoint, server, mobile, firewall, ZTNA, and email. The unified management console, real-time information sharing between products, and automated incident response have made managing cybersecurity much simpler and more efficient for us.
Sophos has been especially beneficial for environments like ours that rely on BYOD. We use the Captive Portal and have integrated our NAS into the infrastructure. Our BYOD-ready setup was designed, deployed, and implemented in-house with Sophos's support, and we take great pride in what we've achieved.

What is our primary use case?
My clients use Sophos XG for deploying firewalls at corporate office and branch offices. The branches connect via site-to-site VPN, allowing outbound traffic from the central location.
What is most valuable?
The firewall provides network visibility and reporting capabilities, constantly improving over time. It can be integrated with the cloud console, allowing centralized management of multiple firewalls. integration with endpoint security products ensures seamless traffic flow and rule enforcement, even when endpoints are not directly connected to the firewall.
What needs improvement?
I've had experience with Sophos XG's threat intelligence features, and they provide good coverage, although I wouldn't say they're the best in the industry. The sandbox feature is available with top-tier subscriptions, allowing you to test content in a cloud sandbox.
One improvement I'd suggest for Sophos XG is to make certain functionalities, like CR functionality, part of the default firewalling rather than exclusive to premium subscriptions. Enhancing DLP capabilities at the gateway level could significantly boost security for organizations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Sophos XG for the past 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
As for stability, I'd give it a high score, maybe a nine, because it keeps running without much downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I'd rate them an eight for stablity It's not to say they're perfect, but generally, it's pretty good I'd recommend it for companies of all sizes.
How was the initial setup?
Integrating Sophos XG into existing infrastructure was quite easy and straightforward. There were hardly any complexities involved in the process.you can use both options - cloud-based or hardware-based firewalls. When I mention hybrid, it means having both options available. While cloud-based firewalls offer convenience, they can be more expensive compared to hardware ones. Although I haven't personally worked with the cloud version, it seems similar in appearance but may have different features. Cloud-based firewalls may seem like an overkill in terms of price, especially when considering the cost of operation over time. They become more beneficial when additional security layers like zero trust, DLP, or secure web gateway functionalities are added. This expands security beyond physical location constraints, making it accessible from anywhere.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate Sophos XG an 8. It's my first preference and confidently recommend it to other users.
