A great firewall, it easily manages complex requests and powerfully handles security.
What do you like best about the product?
Management is friendly, easily and it also includes a wizard to help you set up firewall rules in just a second.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some notifications are too short, they didn't tell me clearly enough what was the root cause.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is powerful yet friendly. I can use either the GUI or CLI (via SSH) to control the firewall, specifically for packet capture. I really like the SD-WAN option; it allows me to perform both network failover and control/load balance multiple internet circuits. Additionally, I can control which application uses which ISP. It's so cool!

What do you like best about the product?
"What I like best about Sophos Firewall is its ease of use and straightforward implementation process.

It offers a rich set of features—like advanced threat protection, web filtering, and traffic shaping—without feeling overwhelming. Integration with other Sophos products through Sophos Central is seamless, enabling unified threat management across endpoints and networks. Customer support is responsive and knowledgeable, which adds confidence during setup and ongoing maintenance. We use it frequently and rely on its consistent performance to protect multiple environments
What do you dislike about the product?
The main drawback is that firmware updates can sometimes introduce new issues or require re-tuning of existing configurations, which can disrupt operations. Additionally, the learning curve for advanced features like routing policies or SSL inspection can be steep for admins without prior experience. Some logging and reporting features also lack the depth or flexibility found in more specialized tools.

"Sophos Firewall is helping us address several critical security and network management challenges. It effectively blocks external threats through features like advanced threat protection, IPS, and deep packet inspection, significantly reducing the risk of malware and intrusions. The integration with Sophos Central and endpoint protection allows for real-time threat sharing, enabling faster automated responses to security incidents. It also simplifies managing multiple sites and remote users through SD-WAN and VPN capabilities.

User-Friendly Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
UI is very friendly and easy to understand. Features are good and easy to find. Logs are easy to read and find for troubleshooting. For someone who is relatively new in the industry, this firewall is very easy to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary issue i have is with the user VPN MFA can be a little wonky at times. Not sure if it is a knowledge issue or a bug, but sometimes the MFA does not work and unable to authenticate the Web Interface with the users credentials + MFA. Require to reregister certificates then it works. Adding additional codes to MFA does not last very long, hope that in the future there is a way to permanently set codes that dont expire for use cases where client is overseas and unable to authenticate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote access to network resources allows our staff to work from anywhere. IPSec helps with our remote site backups. Policies help to restrict access and tighten security for ease of management.

Their support has been responsive and easy to get a live person.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing coming to mind. When I use software/hardware, I learn how it needs to be configured for my requirements. Sometimes that is intuitive, and other times it is clunky. Overall this product has been intuitive.

The firewall is:
1. Allowing and disallowing internet traffic (external and internal governance)
2. Defining the office network rules and permissions across network segments and vlans
3. Email delivery and filtering
4. Branch connections to the head office network

Easy to implement and Great support
What do you like best about the product?
Its ability to be an all-in-one network solution, as well as the ease with which we were able to implement that solution. A single console to log into that handles all facets of our network. Support has been great the few times we have had issues that needed additional troubleshooting.
