Sophos XG Reviews

We are customers of Sophos and I'm the company IT security manager. 

I like that each user has the ability to manage the solution. 

It's a problem that we are not able to investigate incidents, there is no tracking. Security is also lacking in this product. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

Stability is good, no problems. 

Scalability is fine. 

Technical support could be improved, it's not great. 

The price is good, it's not an expensive product.

I would not recommend this firewall to others. 

I would rate this product a seven out of 10.

• Web and Application filter
• Wireless integration
• Email protection with encryption
• Reporting and Dashboards

Mostly it's related to visibility as this platform allow us to see literally everything when it comes to traffic in a very easy and intuitive way.

I would like to see the possibility to add or block some content directly from the log interface or the live view of the interface so that if I see that an IP address is consuming a lot of bandwidth, I can right click on it and set some kind of policy. Everything else its perfect. 

There was no issue with the deployment.

There has been no issue with the stability.

There have been no issues scaling it to our needs.

Contact a good partner with experience and follow the online KB for doubts. its almost everything there 

I like how you can integrate with other endpoints and Intercept X in one central management platform. I think it's a perfect solution. Sophos will manage everything in one container. You can manage many firewalls or endpoints within one panel.

Data traffic analysis could be better. I think Fortinet products like FortiAnalyzer are very effective in analyzing data traffic. I think it's better than Sophos. It could also be more stable.

I have been using Sophos XG for more than two years.

I think Sophos has to concentrate on the latest firmware's stability because we have version 18, and we have many problems with our customers who have this version. I think Sophos has to thoroughly test the firmware before launching it. When you get any update on any hardware device, you get many problems. It's not good.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Sophos XG a seven.

This firewall is being used to protect our site.

It's a good security tool and it aligns with the rest of our security stack.

The VPN is in need of improvement. For us, it is hard to set up and it not working properly.

We have been using the Sophos XG at one of our sites for about a year.

This product is part of our infrastructure and we use it every day. The internet stays up with no outages, so I think that Sophos XG is a stable product.

We have not had the need to scale to this point. Our entire organization is protected by it.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to this solution, we were using Meraki. My company has a better partner channel with Sophos, which is why we switched.

Our in-house technical team deployed this firewall.

My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is to trust your techs.

This is a good product, although there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use this solution for bandwidth control, intrusion prevention, and network security.

We now have visibility into our network.

Sophos operates using a Synchronized Security in its XG platform. It is facilitated by an active connection with all of the network endpoints. This connection operates like a heartbeat, notifying the firewall instinctively when an endpoint has been infected or compromised. The firewall then quarantines the problem area and provides detailed information on how the endpoint was compromised. This kind of strategic technology makes it much easier to remove malware and address vulnerabilities quickly.

It would be great if the user can have a portal to check on activities related to their account.

We have been using Sophos SG for two years.

Sophos XG is used for network security for RED devices, client servers, and VM servers.

The most valuable feature of Sophos XG is the VBM.

Sophos XG could improve by being more stable and for it to be able to be used for large enterprises.

I have used Sophos XG within the last 12 months.

For small to medium-sized businesses, Sophos XG works well, it is stable.

We have approximately 15 users using this solution in my organization and we do not plan to increase usage.

The support we have received from Sophos XG has been good.

The installation of Sophos XG is simple.

The time it takes for the implementation depends on many factors, such as how many features are required and the size of the business. However, for a small business, the process can take approximately one day.

For small implementations, I can do the process but for larger implementations, I have an assistant.

I recommend this solution to others for small to medium-sized businesses. 

I rate Sophos XG a seven out of ten.

The most valuable features are its nice interfaces and configuration. The endpoint is also very good.

Areas for improvement would be the access points and the on-premise version, which is very bad.

I've been using this solution for two years.

The technical support is very, very bad.

Sophos is about three or four years behind FortiGate. I would score this solution nine out of ten.

Our clients from the governmental and enterprise sectors have multiple use cases for this product. 

The most valuable feature of this product is threat protection. Filtering and web protection are important as well. 

Sophos XG's web server protection and log viewer could improve. They should also introduce sandboxing. 

I have about five years of experience with this solution. 

The solution's stability is fine. 

There is not much flexibility or scalability with this solution. 

The Sophos XG technical support is good. 

Sophos XG deployment is easy and rapid. 

Most of our clients that end up choosing Sophos XG also consider Fortinet. However, Sophos XG has a better user interface. It is also better with managing users, updates, and integrating with Active Directory. 

Before deciding on this product, it's important to evaluate the price of the network.
