Sophos XG Reviews

Sophos XG is used as a firewall to manage our WiFi connections.

The security of Sophos XG is very good.

Sophos XG could improve by coming out with more innovative feature developments.

The solution is secure, but security could always be better, they should work on perfecting the security of Sophos XG.

I have been using Sophos XG for approximately a few years.

I have found Sophos XG to be very stable.

The scalability of Sophos XG is great.

As our business grows we will increase the users using this solution.

I have not connected the technical support from Sophos XG. I have only used online support from websites which was good.

The initial setup is very easy, it took less than one hour.

We used an integrator for the implementation of the solution.

We have two engineers for the deployment and maintenance of Sophos XG.

The price of the Sophos XG is very good. There are not any licensing costs, it is a one-time purchase price.

I would recommend Sophos XG to others. It is a good solution and I am satisfied.

I rate Sophos XG an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for connecting site-to-site and client-to-site VPN for two protocols, IPsec and SSL VPN. We use encrypted tunnels to achieve fully secure connectivity between sites and clients.

It gives me a very good, stable connection in all tunnels.

Of course, it improves my organization to achieve fully secure connectivity between sites and clients.

It has a good web filtering database and a good application control database in addition to intrusion prevention. Together, these give me confidence in our security.

All of the features in this solution are good. The most valuable is the IPsec VPN tunneling and SSL VPN tunneling, both site-to-site and client-to-site.

The log viewer is extremely helpful for analyzing all incoming and outgoing traffic.

I would like to have remote access to clients using a static IP for a certain period of time. This would allow me to log in to any client, remotely, with a known and fixed IP address.

This is the first solution that we implemented.

It's a suitable price and license.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

We use this solution to secure the computers within our environment.

Sophos offers great disk encryption, anti protection, and the interface is very user-friendly.

I would like to next release to be able to support on-premise deployment. The construction of the rules within the firewall could also use some improvement.

I have been using Sophos XG for about two years.

This is a stable solution, I have not had any issues in regards to stability.

This is a scalable solution. We have about two hundred users in our company.

I have not needed to contact support.

We were using ESET prior to switching to Sophos. ESET was a very simple solution that was unable to detect malware or ransomware. We had an attack and needed to switch to a solution that supported ransomware.

The initial setup was very straightforward and took about one week to complete.

We used an integrator to compete the deployment. We have a contract with them so we do not need any in-house team members for maintenance. 

I would recommend this solution as it offers good protection.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We are IT, service providers, here in Pakistan, we provide solutions for our customers.

We deploy this solution for the health care industry, in hospitals.

There are many valuable features.

It's a good product.

It is not recommended for larger enterprise customers.

They need to improve the SD-WAN feature.

As we are service providers, we have deployed multiple deployments of Sophos XG for our customers.

Our clients are using the latest version.

Sophos XG is a reliable product.

Sophos XG is easy to scale.

We have eight to ten customers who are using this solution.

Technical support is good but there is a delay in response.

The response time needs improvement.

We deal with Fortinet and Sangfor as well.

The initial setup is easy to apply. It is not complex.

The product is well priced. We are happy with the pricing.

The license is subscription-based.

I would recommend this solution for less than 5,000 users.

I would rate Sophos XG an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

Sophos RED, because this makes it very easy to deploy new sites, without the need of static IP addresses and a completely new firewall setup. The rule-based use is the same as if it were internal to the central site.

Web Protection, because this feature implements rules on user/group basis and this is done on the firewall rules itself. So it is easy to check.

Sophos Sandstorm, because it implements sandboxing so downloaded files are checked by hash or checked by unpacking it in within the Sophos Cloud.

With its central management console, it implements an intuitive management console with change tracking. So it’s easy to see who has made changes and to keep track of changes.

Email Protection has room for improvement. It doesn’t have an intuitive rule base. I would much like it to be like the Sophos UTM software. The level of detail in the settings is much too low.

I have been personally using this product for almost two years now.

In our business, we have been using the product alongside the Sophos SG for more than a year now.

The first firmware versions were not that stable and had a lot of bugs in it. From Version SF 16 and above, the stability has improved a lot.

We didn’t encounter any issues with scalability as of yet.

Technical support, I would rate it as a six, because the technical expertise level from this product is below the level I’m used to. Also, the response times have increased since the launch of Sophos XG.

We used the Sophos UTM software. We did switch for some customers to the Sophos XG solution because of the customer’s needs.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The only downside is that a Sophos Account is necessary to activate the box. It has an intuitive setup to take care of the basic settings needed to connect to the internet.

Pricing of the hardware box is the same as Sophos UTM, but the licenses are a little more expensive. The most used license is the Enterprise Guard, it implements Network Protection and Web Protection in a bundle with support.

We evaluate other options for our customers constantly. We select the product which is best suited to the situation. We evaluate Sophos UTM, Sophos XG, and Meraki.

The product has much potential to be one of the best on the market according to bang for bucks. But look critically to the features you want and the features that are available with this product. Don’t select this product just yet for email filtering, because it is underdeveloped.

We use the solution for incoming and outgoing computer traffic. It has advanced Samsung features, which means it adds IPS to each of the packets. It creates different zones and manages of each of them individually. It can also be managed from the central cloud solution, known as the super central. It works with most devices. 

The server comes with web server protection and and provides application, email and avenue protection, meaning the solution boasts many features. 

The solution is really cool and has a very user friendly GUI. 

It comes with a common bundle which comprises all the feature. There is no need to get one edition, just the license. With Cisco, I must get different bonds and types, but Sophos XG has all the bundles in a single box. 

While it is possible to configure between two of the solution's devices in the same model, the high available usually fails. We are talking about when there are two devices running concurrently. When it comes to the traffic, there is a distribution of load balancing and the upworking. This is what is meant by high availability. 

I have been using Sophos XG for three years.

The solution is definitely stable. 

For sure, the solution is scalable. 

We did not use a different solution prior to Sophos XG. 

The installation is extremely straightforward. 

Deployment takes one hour, tops. 

Installation can be done on one's own. 

The same holds true of deployment. 

There is no need to get one edition, just the licensing, as we are talking about a common bundle which encompasses all the features. 

Unlike Cisco, which requires the purchase of different bonds and types, Sophos provides all of the bundles in a single box. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Sophos XG as a nine out of ten.
