Overall experience with Sophos Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
We may receive full information about their activities and prohibit access to various network services using its user-friendly interface. Among my favorite features are antivirus protection, extensive reporting, sophisticated analytics, and general filtering, which give unsurpassed security and management over network devices. I have faith in its capacity to keep computers safe and in all of its capabilities, as well as in its ability to respond in real-time to block malicious programs at network boundaries. Its reverse proxy authentication was extremely useful in protecting our cloud servers from hacker attempts while also giving users safe real-time access. This is the most economical option. Its continuous updates safeguard the organization's data against the most recent dangers.
What do you dislike about the product?
On paper, high availability appeared to be a terrific idea, but it was a source of anxiety because it crashed almost every time we upgraded and required a reboot. It is nearly hard to realize the image and performance of devices if we do not have a proper comprehension of the Sophos Firewall system since they are exceedingly complex to grasp at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As compared to other Firewalls I like Sophos Firewall, It's easy since the first configuration is so simple that even someone with minimal technical knowledge can do it. It's a simple and straightforward web dashboard with a quick log reader and the option to categorize packets. There are several filtering options. Sophos Firewall has resolved the issues I was experiencing with my old tool. I choose to utilize this program to boost my productivity since it restricts users' access to adult content, shopping, and social networking sites. This technology also makes it easier to implement endpoint security policies. It's simple to use, and because of the load balancing, it's becoming overly simplistic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I prefer Sophos Firewall, Because other alternatives aren't as good at completely safeguarding our networks, on the other hand, Sophos Firewall offers multilayered protection as well as powerful security intelligence capabilities to intelligently monitor traffic and prevent harmful applications and agents from entering the network. Its adaptable SD-WAN and VPN solutions offer low-cost connection options that are tailored to any cloud or hybrid network. And, most importantly, it features a user-friendly interface.

Complex but Easy to Utilize
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.
