Rock-Solid Reliability and Outstanding Support from Sophos
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Sophos firewalls since 2019 and have not had a single hardware failure, failed update or any unscheduled downtime. The migration from XG to XGS was straight forward and almost flawless.
We've had great support from Sophos too. They've provided free in-depth health checks and reviews of our
firewall and endpoint protection configurations and have provided us with helpful recommendations.

products, that we already have solutions for.
