Cloud-Managed, But Lacking Modern Network Management Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos Firewalls has two major advantages: it’s a cloud-managed firewall, and it provides good customer-facing reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sophos firewalls haven’t changed much in terms of functionality in years. The configuration may come with a newer UI, but underneath it still feels like the same basic firewall.
What’s been most frustrating for me is that there still isn’t a straightforward way to manage VoIP—an extremely common part of any modern network—without having to drop into the CLI backend and disable VoIP inspection. It ends up being an all-or-nothing setting: either it’s on or it’s off.
I’ve run into a similar limitation with DHCP options. Yes, the feature exists and it has been added, but it’s still very basic and doesn’t really support more modern management approaches for other devices, like Unifi APs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initially deployed Sophos Firewall because we needed a way to manage firewalls in remote geographic locations where we couldn’t dispatch a technician. It also provided customer reports that met our clients’ requirements, which was an important part of why we chose it.

We currently run two Sophos firewalls in an active/passive high-availability configuration. This setup automatically fails over between the two units if our internet service provider experiences an outage.
