Sophos Network Access Control Reviews

Within our organization, there are roughly 450 users, using this solution.

Currently, I would say we're only using about 50% of the full functionality of the device. We definitely will keep using this solution in the future. 

The feature I love the most is probably the wifi. The wifi control is fantastic and makes it very easy to administer. The security is also top-notch. Since we've been using this product, we've not had any problems with regards to threats. I'm very happy with this solution.

I would like to see mobile administration capabilities in the next release so that we can administer the device from a mobile device.

I have been using Sophos Network Access Control for three years. 

Sophos Network Access Control is both very scalable and stable.

We've only ever needed technical support once and we resolved the problem in about half an hour. I am very pleased with the customer support.

The customer support speed is good. The only problem I had was my time zone because I am in Africa and we don't have any local support in Africa. So the support I receive is always via Europe, so Internet access always causes some delays.

We used to use Cisco; and before Cisco, we used Microsoft Proxy Server. We moved from Microsoft to Cisco, and then from Cisco to Sophos. We switched because Cisco was too expensive and complex.

The initial setup was very easy. That was one of the reasons why we selected the product — it's both easy and reliable.

I believe we deployed all three sites in just two days.

We implemented the solution internally — I did it myself. 

I would absolutely recommend this solution, 100%. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of ten. I think this is one of the best products I've discovered in the last few years. I love this product, I just wish there was a bigger footprint in Africa.

The solution offers very good visibility.

The fact that it is a single management solution is quite useful. Whether it's on-premises or on the cloud, we're able to manage it centrally.

The solution is quite user-friendly.

We don't have much experience with the solution just yet. It's only been a few months. I'm not sure which features are lacking.

A few items are complex when it comes to handling the initial setup.

The solution could offer more useful documentation. 

We found it difficult to find metrics on the solution. They should work to make this more intuitive.

I've been working with the solution for just about three months.

The solution is stable. I haven't seen any bugs or glitches. There haven't been any crashes. We can count on it. It's reliable. It's quite good.

The scalability is very, very good. They use very light containers. It's not hard to expand if a company needs to. However, pricing is based on the devices themselves. If a company needs additional devices, it becomes much less feasible. A large corporation won't have trouble with this, but a smaller organization might.

I don't have enough experience with technical support to really comment on their level of service. The solution is still new to us.

We're also using Cisco and Fortinet solutions.

The initial setup has a moderate level of difficulty. Some things are simple. Others are more complex.

The deployment typically takes a week or two.

I handled the deployment myself with the help of a team.

The pricing is okay, but the cost of scaling can be expensive if a company must buy more devices.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If the metrics were easier to find, we would rate it higher.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

The user interface makes it easy to configure and use.

The troubleshooting tool is helpful.

Technical support is fast and they have been good at resolving our problems.

This solution needs to including machine learning and AI functionality to assist with intrusion prevention. In Indonesia, there are a lot of false positives. For example, many websites from our government and local industries are blocked by the IPS.

More advanced security features could be added.

I would like to be able to fully customize the reports.

I have been working with Sophos Network Access Control for two years.

The stability is good but there are a lot of false positives in my country.

I think that scalability is good enough. Our customers are small and medium-sized companies.

I am satisfied with technical support.

I have used similar security products by Hillstone, WatchGuard, and Palo Alto. I have found that the features in all of these products, overall, are the same.

The initial setup is not complex. To complete the deployment, including the configuration, troubleshooting, and fine-tuning, takes two or three days.

I deploy this solution for our clients and one person is enough for the job.

Sophos Network Access Control is easy to implement, use, and manage, and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We offer integration services to our customers. They are usually looking into solutions that are out there that are good, and which can work to support the organizational enterprise.

There is really good visibility for the appliance. They also have a single management solution be it on-premise or in the cloud. We've been able to manage it from a single solution.

The difficult thing was finding the metrics.

We have been using Sophos Network Access Control for about three months.

I have not seen any bugs so I believe it is a stable solution.

Scalability is quite good. The very light containers are much better.

A few of them are a little complex. A few of them are quite easy. The Cisco one is quite user friendly. Even the Exabeam network map solution is also user friendly. Usually, it takes about a week or two for deployment.

We had the help of a team to do the initial setup.

I would rate Sophos Network Access Control at an eight out of ten.
