What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a public entity, we are constantly targeted for attacks. Sophos Firewall is key to ensuring our traffic is secured and protected.
Management and security features deliver impressive user satisfaction
What is our primary use case?
I am using
Prisma Access browser, but the terms are different in Palo Alto, as every firewall has different functions and names for the access browser.
Regarding the firewall itself, I work with Palo Alto VM-Series firewall, which is very good compared to others; its rating is very good.
We are using the Cortex series.
I use Cortex XSOAR mainly for XDR, Cortex XDR. I specifically use XDR for extended detection and response.
The security orchestration, automation, and response features of Cortex XSOAR are very advanced, and the functions are rated highly compared to others.
Currently, we are not using Cortex XSOAR for SOAR functionality. Because we have not been using it for a long time, our option is based on our organization needs; we are not a big organization with a total of 150 plus users, and the option we use currently is enough for our network, so we are not using DNS Security and other options.
What is most valuable?
Palo Alto Threat Intelligence Management is a main function of Palo Alto.
The Palo Alto solution is very useful in our environment, as the pricing from the Palo Alto team working in Pakistan is also very competitive compared to Sophos XG and Fortinet.
What needs improvement?
We are not using
Palo Alto Threat Intelligence Management for a long time, but it is very effective.
The reporting and visibility of the network were low.
There are many problems, but compared to pricing, Sophos XG is good.
We need better reporting and a clear vision of the network, and Sophos XG does not provide that.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cortex XSOAR for only 3 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There were no limitations regarding the scalability of Sophos XG.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I stopped using Sophos XG around 3 months ago.
I used Sophos XG, the XGS version, which is friendly with the current version of XGS. I have around 10 years of experience using Sophos XG as my main gateway device.
Sophos XG is a friendly-use firewall that is very good for small environments and small to medium businesses; its functions are great, and I am very satisfied with UTM. I have been using it for 10 years with no threats in my network, no ransomware attacks, and no VPN issues. It works very well in my environment, as my network is not as crucial as a financial institution's.
How was the initial setup?
Installation is very easy. The installation of Sophos XG was easily completed with our local vendor.
What other advice do I have?
My job title is Assistant Manager IT.
