Sophos Xg firewall helps our hospital mostly on network protection , VLAN configuration,VPN configuration and firewall rules configuration and also we appreciate the support we are getting from Sophos support and customer care team, also we have been using Sophos on managing users using captive portal every user is authenticated before accessing the internet. so with this technology we have improved internet speed to our organization
What do you dislike about the product?
The mostly challenge we are getting is when we are trying to access the device on local area network we are getting certificate error massage. If Sophos will solve this issue will be much appreciated, But despite all the mentioned challenges we appreciate the support we are getting from Sophos customer care and Sophos Support when we are facing issues on daily activities of the Hospital. I recommend mostly to Sophos to remove that certificate error massage when accessing the firewall devices.

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XG firewall ability to Detect Threat on a network, email security, Network Protection, Web and Application Filtering, Server and Endpoint protection along with it's cloud deployment model has made deployment and administration seamless and the Sophos Central Console also makes an administrator to be at rest and it's ease of monitoring and having insight from a single dashboard makes a perfect solution.

XG Firewall integration into a client network has a little to minimal service impact on the speed, but security of the network is more important.

Also, the available study materials on the Sophos learning portal is the best.Threat Detection, email security, Network Protection, Web and Application Filtering, Server and Endpoint protection

Sophos XG 85 - 86 - 125

  • March 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Solid, reliable units. Have half a dozen in the field now with zero reliability issues. Our clients are very satisfied with the VPN throughput (impressive since several are architectural firms that work in large file sizes). The RED (remote Ethernet device) units are excellent add-ons, simple to configure with solid performance and reliability as well for our clients with remote offices. Support is excellent as well. Wireless access points are all centrally managed through the XG for easy deployment as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit confusing to configure at first - example is having to set up separate source and destination NAT rather than a simple static mapping. Some configurations require accessing multiple different sections rather than being consolidated in one area. License subscriptions are a bit confusing as well for additional features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network security and remote access. Quick to set up remote users for VPN access, remote office connectivity is flawless with the RED units. Wireless access can be controlled from the XG making diagnosing issues simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are converting from a different vendor use their support team to assist in configuration. Syntax can be very different and confusing at first but the support is excellent.
