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.
I have used Sophos XG firewalls, APs, and REDs for 5 years
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of setup and ease of use that comes with Sophos XG Firewalls. From setting up business rules, Access Points, and Remote Ethernet Devices they all offer an ease of use that is unmatched by a competitor.
Also I love the Phishing emails. I have the ability to schedule Mock attacks on email users. If they click the link the email sends them to training. If not, they have the option to forward it. I make a contest out of this every month of users. I also like that Sophos seems to be transparent when things are awry.
Setting up new networks and Access Points are a breeze! Also Remote Ethernet Devices enable our multi-site facility to communicate with security and speed. I was able to get a new site up and running in not time last month with a new RED15.
I also have the ability to run many reports for our senior management. Reports that enable them to see what I do and break it down for them to understand how important the firewall is to our organization. This enables me to better serve our organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some items on my wish list for the XG firewalls.
I would like the ability to reboot an AP that is having issues. Also to reboot Remote Ethernet Devices if needed.
Some other issues are training or learning new things about the firewall. Some of the training is behind paywalls the last time I looked. I would love for there to be more training for us.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since COVID hit we needed the ability to work from home. Sophos XG Firewall offers a SSL VPN with our subscription. I was able to set that up to enable users to work remotely. They were able to get to the data they needed and most importantly the data was secure!
I also have the ability to block websites and apps as I see fit. Or i can block categories.
I setup a network at a new site in a matter of moments with the XG firewall and a Remote Ethernet Device. This was a simple setup and give me the ability to push all traffic through our main site with the REDs. We also have the ability to monitor traffic at remote sites.

Setup is a breeze. The rules are easy to setup for the firewall and setting up exteranl sites and users are easy to setup as well.
Best Firewall Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Functionality, reliability and ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
I've worked on many firewalls and I normally have complaints: can't think of one for Sophos...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eneterprise network firewall for office, wireless access point management and communication with endpoint software.
Sophos XG Firewall - a good budget option, but you pay for what you get
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XG series has a great UI which is easy to navigate and use. I particularly like the firewall page, in which it makes use of a simple UI, but keeps essential information on (other firewalls I have saw utilize menus over a simple UI).
What do you dislike about the product?
The diagnostics tab is particularly hard to use. The system graphs look very nice, but dont elaborate on much, without going into the logs themselves. It would be nice for this to all be integrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There seems to be a lot of firmware upgrades, which can be quite time consuming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Shop around - you pay for what you get!
Sophos XG straight up
What do you like best about the product?
The layout and ease of navigation is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some policies and features that need to be addressed on the command line especially for VOIP phones to work. The clustering can be a bit of a pain and you don't really know what's going on from the onscreen messages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to increase my customers security posture by having point solutions that talk to each other.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small to medium organisation with comprehensive security features but has the capabilities for large enterprises
Sophos XG Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos is currently ranked as one of the top security providers. I have been using their XG firewalls and Endpoints for the last few years. I have been extremely impressed with their protection and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The XG firewall policy configurations can become complex if you are managing a large operation. I recommend reading their outstanding forum posts for assistance in learning the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Sophos XG firewalls to run multi-office sites for healthcare. We have 11 sites which connect to our main office that houses our servers. We have site to site VPNs running between the firewalls. This has proved to be a great product to allow us to interconnect our offices. The synchronization of the Sophos Endpoint software is also a great feature.
Terrific.
What do you like best about the product?
Precision. Confidence. Valuable. Facility to config and understand the function.
What do you dislike about the product?
The delay to make adjusts by support team after we open a difficult problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection with the world due covid-19.Agility to implement.
Simple But With Advanced Design
What do you like best about the product?
Easy Configuration & User Friendly Device
What do you dislike about the product?
Log Viewer Is Not Clear During Trbleshoot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Sophos XG, It was very easy on the configuration with user friendly. Nice Dashboard with all the important information once login. Just like a Car Dashboard, Without clicking anything all the information is show on the dashboard upon login.
