Sophos XG Reviews

Sophos XG is an on-premise next-generation firewall with comprehensive features and the console is centralized on the cloud.

Sophos XG could improve Data Loss Prevention(DLP).

I have been using Sophos XG for approximately two years.

Sophos XG is a stable solution.

The scalability of Sophos XG is good.

We have approximately 20 users using the solution.

The support is a bit behind compared to other vendors.

The installation is straightforward and only took one and a half hours.

We have one or two people for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

My customers pay a license for one or three years to use Sophos XG.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

We are resellers of Sophos XG and I'm the company's managing director. 

I like the firewall endpoint and email encryption that Sophos XG provides.

As with solutions like Palo Alto and other firewalls, the SD-WAN needs to be rigorously and aggressively improved because when we provide this solution to our customers, it often fails at the network security level. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

The stability of this product is good, we've never had any complaints from our customers. 

The scalability is fine. 

Licensing costs for this product are reasonable. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I have found the solution easy to use and fully integrated.

The solution could improve by having better security.

I have been using this solution for one year.

In my experience, I have found it to be scalable.

The installation took approximately one day to complete.

We did the implementation of the solution and we used a team of two.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

We mainly use this solution for team meetings. We also implemented the LAN control for Sophos XG.

We have been dealing with this solution for the past four years and we haven't had any challenges or complaints from any of our clients.

We created and configured a VPN for connecting our remote sites to make them more secure and reliable. We also like its two-factor authentication features.

The support service level agreement in regard to the amount of time needed to upgrade things is too low. It should be higher.

I have been using Sophos XG for roughly four years. 

This solution is both stable and secure.

The technical support is good enough. 

I would absolutely recommend this solution to others. It's far better than other solutions available on the market right now. This solution could benefit any organization. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. 

Orchestration of the firewall is the most valuable feature. It is a fast and agile solution. It is good with protection. It is also very easy to deploy and manage, and its user interface is easy to use.

They can lower its price. It is very expensive. We are looking for a less expensive solution depending on our budget. They can also improve it in terms of firewall protection.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It is very stable.

It is very agile.

We didn't have any other similar solution previously.

It is very easy to deploy.

It is very expensive.

I would rate Sophos XG a nine out of ten.

We were able to integrate the solution using existing infrastructure installed, such as different firewalls and security software. We have integrated the solution in multiple sectors, for example, the education and banking sectors. 

UTM appliances have generally improved organization networks and given away to multiple link management, identity management, and easy firewall options. SOPHOS has a better GUI and dashboard which can be easily understood and managed in an organization.

The solution was able to be integrated well with exciting hardware and software and in multiple business sectors.

With the proliferation of fiber connectivity becoming available at our homes, consumers should not have to go and buy another module for fiber to ethernet converters or another device to get the fiber options. I understand all UTM models should have direct SFP ports available so that FFTH is directly terminated to UTM for better management and uptime. 

I have been using the solution for the past five years.

I have found it to be a stable product.

I can say it is more stable rather than scalable. I do not think they have the ability for scalability with the options currently included esp in SMB segment. However, if they did have better options then I believe the product would have better scalability.

Some of our clients have been enterprise and SMB customers. Overall the range of our clients has been between medium and enterprise clients.

The customer support is not that good. We found the support to be extremely slow in response.

I rate Sophos XG support a three out of ten.

We have used other products as well and we understand those products work well which has better and local support. In addition, it depends on the company's focus. SOPHOS has focused on small to enterprise customers but support needs improvement to be in the market. SOPHOS channel partnership program needs also improvement and commitment so that System Integrators and partners are able to pitch the products well in the market. 

Setup is good and the integration is very easy. The technology creates several good products.

We do the deployment and implementation of the solutions.

They should include fiber SFP ports on smaller product models as well and the tools should be improved for scalability.

I can definitely recommend the product because it is good. There is no doubt.

I rate Sophos XG a 6 out of 10.

We use it for monitoring our web access, providing authentication and for security purposes.

We get good usage out of the VPN features and its capability; it is a great feature.

In terms of improvement, one of the features we are having a hard time getting a hang of is MAC addressing, like when we assign IP addresses to a specific MAC address. That is something that can be improved. For the next release, I think, it should have better feature integration.

I have been using Sophos XG for seven years. 

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable. We use the product for around 70 to 100 users.

The support that we used was great.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. The setup took around one to two weeks. 

We did all of the deployment by ourselves and we use one person for maintenance.

I think, for the XG, I think the MAC addressing. We were having a very hard time assigning MAC addresses with specific IP.

We haven't chosen any other product, besides Sophos.

I would rate Sophos XG an eight out of ten. 

This solution is implemented for medium and large enterprises to protect their network from attacks and to filter the web traffic through web protection and application protection modules.

This solution includes Email protection, IPS, Antivirus gateway, ATP, Reporting, VPN, Sophos Wireless controller, load balancer, WAF, and traffic shaping.

1. It's protecting our networks from threats.
2. Block URLs and web applications based on business needs.
3. Not expensive when compared to other vendors, with a great added value.
4. Impressive synchronized security with its endpoint solution.

All of the features are amazing, especially Sandstorm, which prevents bad traffic or downloaded files from reaching our customers' and partners' networks.

Network security is in need of improvement.
