How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are working with CheckPoint, SonicWall, and FortiGate.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment method involves navigating through several pages, such as selecting the country and configuring LAN and WAN ports, before reaching the manual configuration stage. Instead, simplifying the process by allowing users to log in directly to the dashboard and initiate configuration without additional prompts could be helpful. The implementation time depends on specific firewall requirements.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is more expensive than SonicWall. Our customers compare devices for office compatibility, such as Sophos XG 4100 and SonicWall NSA 2300, and question license cost disparities.
I rate the pricing a six out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
The product’s new variant allows for faster processing of data packets from LAN to WAN, surpassing the capabilities of an 8G firewall. It provides threat prevention features, including WAF, IPS, and AV. We have configured SSL VPN capabilities for different branches, which have been working efficiently. For our minimalistic usage, it has been performing well in transferring data from on-premise devices. It helps us generate detailed reports on the dashboard. The product’s integration with Sophos Central enhances security architecture by enabling centralized management under a single dashboard.
We recommend Sophos XG as a priority as it is much more reliable and has efficient technical assistance. It is much easier for configuration, web filtering, or web extension than one of its competitors.
I rate it a seven out of ten.

Sophos Firewall Review
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of the Sophos firewall is the tight intergration with their security platform. All Sophos products are managed within one console making it easy for administrators to manage. The firewall is also easy to setup and operate within reason due to their simple interface. The firewall product is automatically added to the Sophos MDR solution if you purchase it, creating another set of professional eyes looking at your security posture. The Sophos support team is easy to reach and they are fast to respond. Often responding within 12 hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a more limited application over other major brand firewalls. The Sophos firewall specalizes in security protection and not acting as an advanced router or switch. I do not see Sophos Firewalls as single sourced, however more as a supliment to more major brands. We use ours to help filter internet traffic and to look for bad behavior as traffic enters or leaves the network.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the Sophos Firewall as an internet filtering solution and to monitor the threat behaviors of internet traffic entering or leaving the network. This allows us to have Sohos MDR assist us with analyizing the data and allowing the use of AI and modeling. This helps us catch threats before they become a danger.
