We had issues setting up high availability on all of our locations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security of SOPHOS Firewall

Good for Security
Sophos XG has been great for our business
What do you like best about the product?
I love how granular I can be with our Web policies to protect our users. I can easily use file type restrictions to prevent executable downloads and create a user portal for authorised users to approved downloads too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally firmware updates have been a little buggy upon release. It would be good practise to wait a month if the update is not critical.

I can easily protect my users from online threats and protect traffic between my local networks. It gives me peace of mind know I can easily solve network problems should they arise.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
a great option to consider if looking for an affordable but advanced firewall
High-quality top-of-the-line protection
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how they add a multitude of features without making you pay a "ransom's" worth of licensing costs. If you increase your bandwidth, the XG doesn't require you to pay an additional licensing fee. This is so rare in the industry these days.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only real thing I disliked was the original process of getting this equipment licensed. We already owned a previous smaller XG model, and we had to work with license support to get a temporary license while we waited for our older model's license to expire. Other than that it is excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to get ISP WAN load balancing, reduce bandwidth licensing costs, and add additional DDOS and other security features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sophos is a great company and really willing to work with you on discounts. I recommend starting early and negotiating with them to get the best deal upfront. Additionally, I recommend if you buy an XG to dump your other products that this can take the place of. Save yourself some money and use the XG to it's potential!

It is a very efficient solution in your price range

Easy to use and very effective, it has many reports for evaluation, this allows to quickly implement the security policies, additionally the use of the end point provides a detailed vision of the possible threats that could be in the network.
What do you dislike about the product?
In general, it is a tool that I really like, perhaps its limitations are due to being immersed in the world of SMEs and not focused on large solutions, I would like it to be a solution that could be implemented in larger companies, as a central point of my security policies and not only in small or medium-sized companies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to change and implement the company's policies very quickly and the maintenance time was much better, the great benefit, the efficiency in the management of the operation, its ease of use allowed me to dedicate my time to other activities, additionally they have support constant to clients based on education and constant evolution of the system, even doing the updates was something very simple, within 15 minutes I already had a new update installed and in production
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Being a focused company, SMEs offers an advantage in relation to price value, in addition to having the reports included and their integration with active directory without the need for additional equipment or software.
Sophos XG 125 Review
What do you like best about the product?
In almost two years, no major incidents on our network. Carefree install and forget. As long as you maintain firmware upgrades, the standard installation does an excellent job.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike about Sophos XG 125
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zero incidents, is the major benefit. Being able to manage centrally from Sophos Central is a nice plus, instead of having to login to 5 firewalls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well supported and easy to use product for beginner and expert network admins. Level of support is excellent.
A Networking and Security Savior
What do you like best about the product?
Quick initial setup, integration with anti-virus makes management easy, easily scales with us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Major updates sometimes cause the XG to stop working properly, but automatic backups have made it easy to recover if anything goes wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When taking over IT, everything was in shambles. There was no anti-virus, no firewall, and every system needed to be upgraded. I needed a secure solution that could be setup fast and could easily be managed during the transition period, but then scalable as old systems were replaced. Sophos XG was quick to setup, made security centrally managed because it integrated with Sophos anti-virus, and has easily scaled as we upgraded and replaced every system we had and then started adding new systems as the company has grown.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend getting Sophos anti-virus with central management. It will make the experience much better.
