Sophos Firewall

Sophos Firewall syncs great with the endpoints and logging real-time traffic is great.

The security within our environment from creating tunnels to running separate areas off of Sophos DHCP it's drastically helped us improve overall security.

Versatile Network Security For Small IT Team
What do you like best about the product?
Central Management through Sophos Central is crucial for us, having a few remote locations to manage. Also the ability to have everything managed in one plane, including network security, end-point security and MDM is great. The XGS platform is very versatile and simple enough to setup and manage for a small IT team. Given the nature of our operations, the ability to enforce safe search at the gateway level is a must and managing web content and applications policies is a lot easier than the previous product we had.
What do you dislike about the product?
-Sometimes it is a bit challenging to troubleshoot issues using the log viewer.
-IP addresses are not sorted in true incremental order in some areas of the management GUI. (x.x.x.1, x.x.x.100, x.x.x.2, instead of x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2, x.x.x.100)
-Certain Access Points can only be managed through Sophos Central.
-1st Gen XGS Wi-Fi models do not support concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi.

Sophos Firewall is easy to manage, even for non-technical users. The interface is intuitive, simplifying policy creation and security management. Its strong security features effectively block threats and provide clear visibility into network traffic. Performance is stable, rarely impacting network speed or reliability. However, sometimes firmware updates can be tricky and require extra attention to avoid configuration issues.

While overall Sophos Firewall works well, a few things could be improved. Firmware updates can sometimes cause unexpected issues or require careful manual steps. The reporting features, although detailed, could be more customizable and easier to export. Occasionally, troubleshooting complex policies or NAT rules can be a bit confusing without deeper technical knowledge. Also, some advanced features, like SD-WAN configuration, feel a little less polished compared to competitors. Finally, support response times can vary — sometimes very fast, but other times slower than expected depending on the issue severity.
