Excellent small business/home solution

  • November 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple setup and good admin user interface for the competent professional. Lots of features and choice of licensing to enable only what you need and pay for it. Comprehensive real time reports. Excellent backup and firmware update capabilities
What do you dislike about the product?
Complex licensing as you have to know what each option is to ensure you buy the right license to cover all your needs.
Outrageous pricing with the same digital license for the same feature enablement costing massively different prices in different territories and Sophos preventing vendors selling out of territory thus forcing you to pay more just because of the county you live in. THIS IS NOT because of currency exchange rates, the pricing is vastly different.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simply doing its job to replace the previous Microsoft Threat Management Gateway (TMG) servers we had. Of course now we are also paying yearly for licensing which has added costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a good solid performer. Once in and setup there is very little to do, exceopt sit back and feel safe.

Next Generation Firewall for Network and Internet Security

  • November 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides seamless integration with Active Directory, in my case all internet users go via the radius server to get network access, and for Internet authentication one uses captive portal which is synchronized with my AD.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are lots of upgrades to the firmware which may end up affecting stability of features such as SSL VPN.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for identifying internet users and reporting on Internet usage and also monitoring user behavior.
Report generation weekly and monthly to assess our network threat levels.
Safeguarding our organizational IT infrastructure and Data, through Intrusion Prevention and protection from Ransomware. We also use it for Mail filtering and scanning.
Lastly for filtering and forwarding of external traffic to the rightful servers in conjunction with Edge Servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the next generation firewall, which drills down to user identity. It manages internet usage effectively.
It is worth a try, you can have a trial online or request for a demo.

Sophos XG firewall has got an interactive GUI. Reporting platform is very good and it has got easy use SSL VPN for the organization. With Sophos XG Firewall you can track down each and every network traffic on reporting screen. Sophos XG Firewall has got a good ransomware protection feature. Sophos XG firewall Also provides a central interface to manage all Sophos endpoint client from the firewall.DLP feature of the Sophos Xg firewall also excellent as it provides in-depth data analysis.

Sophos Support is very busy and it takes hour of waiting to reach them. Customer Support from foreign doest understands our English properly and their shift timing not appropriate according to India time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting service in Sophos Xg firewall was getting stopped due to bug in the software, this issue has been resolved by the Sophos team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The separate training session should be there for the Sophos Xg firewall on their new feature which there in firewall and the client should regularly get an update from the Sophos team.

One of the best budget oriented firewall

  • June 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have been using sophos xg 85 firewall in our company for a while and its performance has been quite satisfactorily, if your are looking for a budget oriented firewall then this one is worth buying...or you can go for the high end xg series which include xg-105 and xg-135, the initial configuration part of the firewall was quite simple and similar to other firewalls in the market. it comes with 2 inbuilt anteenas which was an exciting feature so an additional wifi device is not required, the user interface or the dashboard of the firewall is simple and user friendly its shows recent malicious activities upfront. the sophos sandtorm feature detects ransomware quite brilliantly which is adds perks to the device and all in all a good product to consider for budget contrain customers
What do you dislike about the product?
The processing time it took while initial configuration was quite frustrating and as its a budget oriented firewall you don't get many features which is quite expected.We could have gone for a bit high end device considering the scaliblity of no. of users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the product has improved business process quite handsomely, we were facing many issue due to spam messages and mails and are quite happy and have got rid of those messages
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are looking for a budget oriented firewall with good and exiting features then this product it worth buying.

Sophos XG Firewall

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Firewall or UTM is very complete and is a solution that satisfies all the needs of security and protection in the network, most of the solutions of this type sell their services or modules separately compared to Sophos and I think it is very innovative because day by day adds new features to the sun.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment only when they release a product update, it has minimal bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Restriction to users and protection in my network in general.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very complete solution and other solutions of this type do not have all the modules or protections that Sophos offers.
