Sophos Firewall Reviews

It's deployed on-prem. We're using the latest version of this solution.

The SD-WAN feature isn't very good. It's there, but it doesn't work properly.

It's stable.

It's scalable.

Technical support is good. I would rate them 3 out of 5.

Setup was straightforward. One person is enough for deployment.

The ROI has been satisfactory.

The cost is comparable to other similar solutions.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

We deploy the solution for our customers.

It is a next-generation firewall. It has all the security features and operates as a next-generation firewall for the company.

The solution is cost-effective and easy to manage.

It's a stable and reliable product.

The initial setup is straightforward and simple to manage.

I can't recall coming across any missing features. 

Support could be improved.

We've been using the solution for two years now. 

The product is stable. the performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I'm not sure about the scalability. I've never tried to scale.

However, it's my understanding that you need to replace the firewall if you need to expand.

We have more than ten people on the product.

The Sophos support is bad. It needs to be improved. they are not helpful or responsive enough. The system for support is not that good. Sometimes they are not able to resolve the issue. 

It offers a pretty simple and straightforward setup. It's not hard to manage the process.

The deployment is quick. If you have the skills, the firewall may only take a few minutes to set up.

The pricing is pretty reasonable. It's relatively cost-effective. 

There is a licensing fee the customer has to pay. The license is yearly. We have what I believe is a two-year agreement.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

The product is cost-effective and if you're not looking for high speed it's quite good.

We use this solution to secure the computers within our environment.

Sophos offers great disk encryption, anti protection, and the interface is very user-friendly.

I would like to next release to be able to support on-premise deployment. The construction of the rules within the firewall could also use some improvement.

I have been using Sophos XG for about two years.

This is a stable solution, I have not had any issues in regards to stability.

This is a scalable solution. We have about two hundred users in our company.

I have not needed to contact support.

We were using ESET prior to switching to Sophos. ESET was a very simple solution that was unable to detect malware or ransomware. We had an attack and needed to switch to a solution that supported ransomware.

The initial setup was very straightforward and took about one week to complete.

We used an integrator to compete the deployment. We have a contract with them so we do not need any in-house team members for maintenance. 

I would recommend this solution as it offers good protection.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We are a digital design agency. We offer services such as website design and development, mobile applications, and more. We use Sophos XG to protect our network. It is also used for reporting and load-balancing.

The interface is very user-friendly and it's easy to manage.

The load-balancing capabilities are good.

All of the options should be available when I renew my subscription for the year. As it is now, there are some limitations.

We have been using Sophos XG for between two and three years.

This is a stable product and we use it on a daily basis.

I have not tried to scale this product.

I have not had issues that required contacting technical support.

The initial setup is simple. It takes approximately one hour to install, create the policies, and deploy.

I deployed it myself.

If there are any issues then I can fix them because I have the expertise.

The subscription costs approximately $300 yearly. I am satisfied with the price.

Feature-wise, this is a good product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Sophos XG is used as a network firewall.

In the Sophos XG, the SD-WAN has all the rules done separately, such as net policy routing. In the previous version, they were all in a single rule and everything was done that way. The way it is now is difficult for us because we are not used to this newer version. The firewall rules should be easier to configure and create. Everything should be done with a single click.

In the next version, the solution would be more user-friendly overall.

I have been using Sophos XG for approximately two years.

The stability of Sophos XG is good, it has good performance.

Sophos XG has good scalability.

We have approximately 50 people that use the solution in my company.

We use this solution on a daily basis.

We have contacted the support from Sophos XG but we do not require the support often.

We previously used Sophos Cyberoam and we switched to Sophos XG because it was the end of life for the Sophos Cyberoam and the bandwidth was poor.

The initial installation of Sophos XG was not difficult.

We used an integrator to do the implementation of Sophos XG.

We only require one person for the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The solution is very good and we have received a return on investment.

The price of Sophos XG is reasonable. 

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a six out of ten.

Sophos XG is an on-premise next-generation firewall with comprehensive features and the console is centralized on the cloud.

Sophos XG could improve Data Loss Prevention(DLP).

I have been using Sophos XG for approximately two years.

Sophos XG is a stable solution.

The scalability of Sophos XG is good.

We have approximately 20 users using the solution.

The support is a bit behind compared to other vendors.

The installation is straightforward and only took one and a half hours.

We have one or two people for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

My customers pay a license for one or three years to use Sophos XG.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for incoming and outgoing computer traffic. It has advanced Samsung features, which means it adds IPS to each of the packets. It creates different zones and manages of each of them individually. It can also be managed from the central cloud solution, known as the super central. It works with most devices. 

The server comes with web server protection and and provides application, email and avenue protection, meaning the solution boasts many features. 

The solution is really cool and has a very user friendly GUI. 

It comes with a common bundle which comprises all the feature. There is no need to get one edition, just the license. With Cisco, I must get different bonds and types, but Sophos XG has all the bundles in a single box. 

While it is possible to configure between two of the solution's devices in the same model, the high available usually fails. We are talking about when there are two devices running concurrently. When it comes to the traffic, there is a distribution of load balancing and the upworking. This is what is meant by high availability. 

I have been using Sophos XG for three years.

The solution is definitely stable. 

For sure, the solution is scalable. 

We did not use a different solution prior to Sophos XG. 

The installation is extremely straightforward. 

Deployment takes one hour, tops. 

Installation can be done on one's own. 

The same holds true of deployment. 

There is no need to get one edition, just the licensing, as we are talking about a common bundle which encompasses all the features. 

Unlike Cisco, which requires the purchase of different bonds and types, Sophos provides all of the bundles in a single box. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Sophos XG as a nine out of ten. 

The most valuable features are its nice interfaces and configuration. The endpoint is also very good.

Areas for improvement would be the access points and the on-premise version, which is very bad.

I've been using this solution for two years.

The technical support is very, very bad.

Sophos is about three or four years behind FortiGate. I would score this solution nine out of ten.
