Upon purchasing the XG Firewall I was immediately impressed by the simplicity and usability.
What do you like best about the product?
Right out of the box it took less time to setup and integrate to my network than other products that preform similar functions. I have issues with other products that I have not experienced with the XG firewall I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who wants great security with a simple interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is absolutely nothing I can complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to limit restricted websites easily as well as presumptively mitigate the various attempts to hack out network that we have dealt with in the past.
Great Product. Great Protection.
What do you like best about the product?
As an MSP, I only use Sophos firewalls for my clients. Since Sophos acquired the Cyberroam product, they've only continued to make it better and better, taking what they learned from the UTM product and putting it into the XG line. Its the only product that works in tandem with your endpoint protection to secure you network. Having the firewall also manage my wireless network, easily keeping guest traffic separate, is another big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a few minor features that need to be updated, such as the ability to delete dhcp leases or reboot APs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the integration with Sophos Central, I can manage all of my clients' network protection from one console. I can manage their endpoint protection, their email filtering, as well as their firewall. The XG firewall has been bulletproof for security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider all of the security and features built-into the product. You pay for different levels of licensing, but basic things like logging are included. With Sophos APs, you can manage your wireless devices with no extra cost. Putting firewall appliances in high availability failover setup is a great feature too.
Sophos XG firewall provides simple and highly effective security and networking features.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple user interface of the firewall. Rule creation is easy and intuitive. Advanced networking features are very useful, and support from Sophos has been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Sophos is at the forefront of development in their XG firewall line, sometimes firmware updates introduce their own bugs. I can't trust all firmware updates and have to wait to read forum reviews of each one prior to deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Sophos XG firewalls at each of our branch locations to unify the security of both internal and external communications. We also use the XG firewalls to network our offices together with IPSec, thus allowing us to get away from expensive MPLS. Further, we have really used the XG firewalls to enable a rapid work from home shift with integrated VPN.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe XG firewall is a great choice for small and medium businesses looking for a way to secure their networks and provide an intuitive, comprehensive way to network their locations.
Very Reliable, Secure, and easy to manage.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manage all of our XG devices from the Sophos Central portal is amazing. I can log into all devices from one single pane of glass and run reports, check the logs, and make configuration changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had issues setting up high availability on all of our locations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can run reports on all of our locations without having to manage multiple logins. We are using InterceptX in tandem with our XGs and the collaboration between the 2 services is unmatched.
