Gives us peace of mind with network security, application control, and web server protection
Our main use case for Sophos XGS is to protect our network and internet connection, which consists of Aruba, HP, Avaya, and Sophos switches. It's a very new product for us at this time, having previously used a variety of other security solutions including Sophos SG (now UTM), Sophos XG, as well as…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of FortiGate is reasonable as I plan to buy new switches. The initial gadgets are already booted, and the pricing seems normal on the market. As for additional costs, I haven't subscribed to many extra features, so I'm only using what I need. Last year, I renewed the support for three years, which can sometimes be expensive but depends on the security benefits and how it helps us."
"It's very affordable."
"The Indian market is different than the European and American markets. When you compare they need to be a bit more aggressive on pricing."
"There is a subscription-based model to use Fortinet FortiGate. We pay annually for the solution along with the support. If you want to have all the updates, and security patches you will need to renew your support."
"You need to pay a license for this solution. Our licensing is now done in our subsidiary."
"This is not a cheap solution but it isn't expensive, either. It's a good solution for the right price."
"The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
"I think that the pricing is fair."

"It is roughly around $4,000."
"The price of Sophos XGS is less than competitors worldwide. However, in Turkey the solution is expensive."
"It's highly effective and well-suited for medium and small companies. The pricing is attractive, and our customers find it suitable for regular license renewals."
"Sophos XGS is priced lower than some of its competitors, such as Fortinet"
"The licensing is reasonable. Comparing the cost of Sophos XGS with that of Fortinet or Palto Alto firewalls, for instance, it's not that expensive. However, the overall cost depends on the hardware you're using in addition to the licensing cost."
"A central firewall on the cloud with a cluster might be 70,000 to 80,000 euros for a three-year license."
"There is an annual licensing fee to use Sophos XGS. It is an expensive solution."
"I live in Bolivia and the price of Sophos XGS is high. However, they have adjusted their price a little over the past while but the price could still be less expensive to be affordable."
