Price, performance, and service - Unbeatable
What do you like best about the product?
At SOPHOS, you get an extremely good complete package consisting of top hardware, excellent user-friendliness, and, for me so far, unmatched service.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would have been good if we could have migrated our existing Access Points into the new firewall. Unfortunately, the new XGS did not offer support for our existing SOPHOS Access Points. Consequently, all of these had to be renewed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During a (firmware) update of the firewall, there is no live status of the current installation visible during the installation phase. It would be nice to see a progress of the process during the installation of the update.

You can certainly contact support at any time with questions. The inquiries are answered very quickly and competently. The user interface is clearly structured. Our firewalls are used daily with high load and there are no problems here. We were able to install and configure the firewalls independently. Additional useful features were booked by us and are actively used. We are completely satisfied!

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The presentation of LiveLog could have a better presentation; however, it is functional.
2. The backward compatibility with Sophos UTM, a use case we have had with another institution that has not yet upgraded to Sophos XGS, so the update to the latest firmware has not been successfully completed.

Sophos Firewall - simple, good, and secure

Simple handling, good security standard. Integration as a replacement for an existing firewall is well executed.

From my perspective, there are no major disadvantages. The firewall does everything it should.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too complex firewall structure so far => With Sophos, the structure becomes clear, transparent, and streamlined. Costs dramatically reduced.
Super firewall with decent user friendliness
What do you like best about the product?
The firewall is very easy to operate. An incredible number of features, the best of which is probably the WAF. This also led the decision away from the competition. Additionally, the AD integration and VPN with 2FA are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
No compulsion but a very strong urge towards the cloud. Automatic (scheduled) updates, for example, are only possible via the cloud. Reporting functions on the device itself leave much to be desired. Sometimes delivery times are far too long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far, only once had issues with storage space - but the support was quite quick to respond.
