Great firewalls for many uses

  • February 18, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Sophos XG firewalls for a few years now and I enjoy the interface.
It also integrates great with our other security tools.
The GUI is much more user-friendly than other Firewall vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to say one thing, it would be when firmware 18 separated the Firewall policies from NAT'ing and Routing. An option to lock all of those features in one interface would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really gives us insight about what is going on with our network with real time reporting. Having this real time information helps us mitigate issues before they escalate.

Sophos is a total firewall solution.

  • February 08, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos is very easy to configure and I can manage firewall policies effectively. Real-time monitoring and network security options are best in Sophos Firewall. Notification as an alert and the application filter to data protection is also best in Sophos.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few difficulties with using it GUI part especially when using the filter option and of course, the support system of SOPHOS is not very much convenient for end-user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for VPN purposes and for network security. It is a great tool for virtual network connections. Monitoring and logs also help us to track the infra security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are planning to secure your network and want to install a firewall then Sophos is the best one.

Security is a hot topic these days, prepare yourself with Sophos!

  • January 31, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our IT team has installed Sophos firewall on all of our company's workstations and laptops to keep our own data and our customer's data secure. This program runs in the background and I don't even notice it, but it keeps me secure at work.

Sophos firewall can block many programs you try to install or websites you try to browse that may be required for your job. These needs are changing every day, and you may need to work with your IT team to allow certain permissions that may change every week.

We use Sophos firewall on all of our company computers because data protection and privacy are a significant concern in the business and technology world these days. It is expected among clients and employees and not worth the risk of ignoring.

Sophos firewall will keep you and your company safe if implemented correctly. Security is a major concern these days.

Complex but Easy to Utilize

  • January 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XG and XGS firewall provides the most user friendly interface I have ever seen.

I've handled Palo Alto, Checkpoint and Juniper firewalls and none of these can top my experience with Sophos in regards with simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Not that complex with application control.

- NAT is also confusing to new users.

- Cyberoam users are having a hard time migrating to XG because of the linked NAT rule
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SNAT and DNAT are very easy once you're able to get the hands of it. Sophos firewall can be registered in Sophos central to connect Sophos products for lateral movement protection.
