Sophos Firewalls Rock
What do you like best about the product?
The Sophos firewalls are are full of features to protect the corporate network. Everything from IPS, to Reverse Proxy Services, to SSL VPN, and more. You can even do deep packet and application aware scanning and control.
What do you dislike about the product?
When purchasing, there is a kind of black magic to choosing the right hardware level. The firewall must be sized just just depending on how much bandwidth you have and how many services you want to turn on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full integrated security management for the corporate network. The firewall will integrate with the Sophos antivirus and antiransomware software give you a wholistic approach to network security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont skimp when sizing the hardware. The more you spend today, the better the solution will fit for the duration of its life.
Sophos UTM
What do you like best about the product?
XG units are easy to manage thanks to their cloud console and have very powerful features. The "security heartbeat" that syncs endpoint antivirus/antimalware/anticrypto with the firewall is a no brainer. Combined with the ability to manage FDE and see which users pose the highest risk based on behavior has made the entire stack invaluable to our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
SG units are solid but take too many steps to create and apply new policies. Some of the documentation is not entirely clear at first, but they seem to be improving it. Support can be hit or miss, depends on who picks up the phone. We've never had a problem not fixed before we ended the conversation, but sometimes the call went longer than it should have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to manage all of our clients in one dashboard has greatly streamlined our processes, saving us time and leading to faster service times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
XG units are the way to go. We always recommend one model up from what the current client needs are to allow for growth and new features.

I wish that the interface would not time out and have issues when first logging into the web interface.
