A powerful, reliable and secure Firewall with excellent integration with other products and services
What do you like best about the product?
The Sophos Firewall has very granular filtering capabilities and once we got to grips with it this allowed us to configure access for all of the wide and varied device and user types we have and taylor connectivity to their specific needs. As part of the purchase we had setup and implentation support from trained Sophos proffesionals which was invaluable.
The firewall has been far more reliable than our previous provider (we moved from Smoothwall) which is essential for a product that is in use constantly and it also integrates well with our Sophos Endpoint software.
We use the dashboard frequently as it provides a great overview of security with a threat quotient for our user base and the advanced security features highlight and block any malicious traffic such as access to botnets.
Updates are regular and the Firewall has continued to support the latest standards and protocols evailable for web access (such as TLS 1.3, Google QUIC and various VPN protocols).
As most web traffic is now encrypted the ability to decrypt and inspect as much traffic as possible was an essential feature that the Sophos Firewall range caters for too.

What do you dislike about the product?
Initially our needs were sized incorrectly and the model of Firewall didn't cope with our needs (this was rectified by Sophos) - which was a bit of a pain.
Also the builtin report functionality is not the easiest to configure/use and there are no instant alert features. As we work in a school we see instant alerts particularly as a safeguarding essential so had to purchase FastVue which integrates nicely with the Sophos Firewall logs and has improved reporting features.

The Sophos Firewall provides a great level of security for our users and keeps our devices and data secure. It also provides VPN access allowing our users to continue working remotely (in a secure way).
