What do you like best about the product?
"What I like best about Sophos Firewall is its ease of use and straightforward implementation process. The web-based interface is intuitive, making daily management and monitoring simple, even for less experienced admins. 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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
"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. These benefits have improved our overall security posture, streamlined IT operations, and reduced the time and effort needed to monitor and respond to threats.

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.
