The overall experience remains smooth, and each update usually brings meaningful performance and security enhancements.

A tool that gave us back control and saved us from a cyberattack.
What do you like best about the product?
What I value most is the visibility it gave us from day one. Our network used to be incredibly slow during peak hours, and we had no idea why. Upon activating Sophos, the dashboard instantly showed us that the problem was high bandwidth consumption from streaming services (like YouTube) on several computers. We were able to create an application control policy in under 10 minutes to prioritize our erp system, and the performance difference was immediate
But we saw the real value a few months ago when the 'Security Heartbeat' feature detected anomalous behavior on a remote salesperson's laptop. It automatically isolated the device from the network and alerted us. It turned out to be a phishing attempt that could have cost us dearly. That feature alone justifies the investment

What do you dislike about the product?
Although the main interface is intuitive, configuring more advanced features like the Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect our customer access portal was complicated. The documentation is very extensive and can be overly technical if you're not a dedicated cybersecurity expert. We had to rely on our IT provider to help us fine-tune the rules correctly, which meant an additional, unforeseen cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has solved two major problems for us
Network bottlenecks and slowdowns, we can now guarantee that our business-critical applications always have the bandwidth they need, which has directly improved team productivity.
Vulnerability to modern threats, we've gone from a 'fingers-crossed' approach to having a proactive defense. The benefit is operational peace of mind. We know what's happening on our network and have a system that actively protects us, allowing us to focus on growing the business instead of putting out fires.

Sophos Firewall is very easy to use with a clean interface and straightforward policy management.

Sometimes the reporting could be more detailed, and the web interface may feel a little slow with larger configurations, but overall these are minor points compared to the stability and protection it provides.
