Simple cloud console and advanced protection with good integration with other Sophos tools
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that they combine a cloud-based central console that is easy to manage, good integration with the rest of the Sophos security ecosystem, and an advanced level of protection (deep inspection, AI, secure VPN) without demanding significant internal IT resources. All of this at a reasonable price and with equipment that is easy to manage for SMB environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the performance of the teams against the hardware, the lack of very advanced features where other competitors are more powerful, and a somewhat slow and clunky management interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple security for SMB environments, integrating with other Sophos Cybersecurity solutions, allowing for an environment with XDR solutions that are easy to implement and manage.
Strong Admin Capabilities and Feature-Rich Sophos Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos firewall offers strong administrative capability, with easy implementation and plenty of useful features. It includes options such as ISP load balancing, a DHCP server, web filtering, and application filtering, among others.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing costs for some services should be included and built in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sophos Firewalls in HA mode for a range of services, including inter-school connectivity via IPsec, web filtering, application filtering, and daily reports. We also rely on them for notifications and other related functions.
Robust UTM with Free SSL VPN and MFA Authentication
What do you like best about the product?
It offers UTM features, along with a free SSL VPN and MFA authentication.
What do you dislike about the product?
HA failover is not working properly. It is impacting production because the failover is failing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSL VPN with MFA, plus flawless UTM features. We use this firewall as our core firewall, and all of our internal servers sit behind it.
Cloud-Managed, But Lacking Modern Network Management Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos Firewalls has two major advantages: it’s a cloud-managed firewall, and it provides good customer-facing reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sophos firewalls haven’t changed much in terms of functionality in years. The configuration may come with a newer UI, but underneath it still feels like the same basic firewall.
What’s been most frustrating for me is that there still isn’t a straightforward way to manage VoIP—an extremely common part of any modern network—without having to drop into the CLI backend and disable VoIP inspection. It ends up being an all-or-nothing setting: either it’s on or it’s off.
I’ve run into a similar limitation with DHCP options. Yes, the feature exists and it has been added, but it’s still very basic and doesn’t really support more modern management approaches for other devices, like Unifi APs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initially deployed Sophos Firewall because we needed a way to manage firewalls in remote geographic locations where we couldn’t dispatch a technician. It also provided customer reports that met our clients’ requirements, which was an important part of why we chose it.

Integrates with Sophos antivirus to provide a unified management console.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logs are only really viewable using a 3rd party tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently run two Sophos firewalls in an active/passive high-availability configuration. This setup automatically fails over between the two units if our internet service provider experiences an outage.
