Sophos XGS Reviews

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 the solution to control the network and for web browsing. It provides threat protection.

It increases productivity in our company. Everything is protected.

Deployment could be easier.

I have been using Sophos XGS for three years.

I have the company we bought from Cisco, which provides technical support. If anything goes wrong, we call them for any help and support.

Positive

With Cisco, You have to buy everything separately and request many options. It's preferable to get a full bundle like Sophos offers. Sophos includes everything in one package, and any additional features are less expensive than Cisco.

It is 20% more expensive than Sophos.

The initial setup is difficult. You need to take a course to learn how to deploy Sophos. With training and hands-on experience, it’s manageable now, but setting up Sophos for the first time was time-consuming. Deploying the security and configuring the network took a lot of effort initially, but the process becomes much easier once that's done.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Sophos XGS's best features are its VPN and ATPR1 cert protection. It's also very user-friendly and makes managing roles and policies very easy.

There are some issues with conversion and user roles when upgrading to Cyberoam.

I've been using Sophos XGS for two years.

Sophos XGS is stable.

Sophos XGS is scalable.

Sophos's technical support is excellent.

I previously used Cyberoam, but Sophos XGS's licensing is easier.

Sophos XGS's pricing is very affordable.

I would give Sophos XGS a rating of ten out of ten.

Our team of implementation partners serve as consultants and resellers of the solution. 

The solution offers more antimalware and antivirus feeds than others and it is simple to implement the application from one rule. 

The solution's interface is very good. 

The solution could improve inspection processes and troubleshooting for VPNs because this area is very weak. 

Improvement in VNET protection is also needed. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support is very good. 

We implement this solution and other firewalls such as WatchGuard. A company's size such as small, medium, or enterprise determines the best solution. 

The setup is simple but troubleshooting is complex. 

The pricing is very good. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
