I find the frequency of updates and ease of use of ease with web filter is quite appealing.

i am a fan of firewalls that integrate Application ID filtering such as Palo Alto and Sophos XG Firewal is yet to match up, however it is still a work in progress and will get their soon.

We are currently testing this firewall at our smaller offices and realized it is cheaper for the features available to use.

Ease of use, I can cross train my fellow admins easily. The web console is intuitive for even the novice network admin. Easy to update and easy to deploy.

Licensing can be a pain when you go through and RMA. That said the RMA process itself was painless.

An easy to use interface for allowing remote VPN by individuals and protection that has been solid.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find a good partner if you are an end user and they will get you exactly what you need. For the prices it only makes sense to just get the full protection they offer.
Works well, needs some improvement
We have been using the XG Firewall in AWS since April 2020 and found the Firewall was easy to deploy and works well. The Web Content filter works very well. We did use Heartbeat but the Firewall started blocking a server even though the Sophos Server agent reported ok. I reinstalled the agent and this resolved the issue. We also have this issue with on-premise Firewalls so this could be a issue with the XG overall and/or the Sophos Agent. Heartbeat is a great feature but Sophos needs to perfect false positives. I would have rated 5 stars if I was able to use Heartbeat.

Phone support and easy Firewall to setup
