Sophos XGS Reviews

The primary use case is for recommending it to my customers who are using it right now.

The feature that I find most valuable is the synchronized security option where the endpoint talks to the firewall.

Level one technical support is not good at all and needs to be improved.

I have been using Sophos XGS for the past six years or more. 

The stability is very good for Sophos XGS.

Sophos XGS is scalable. I am currently working with anywhere between five to forty users.

I was working with Fortinet before switching to Sophos XGS.

The initial setup is straightforward. The basics are easy, but it is all the extra features that take a long time to deploy.

The pricing for Sophos XGS is reasonable.

I would rate Sophos XGS an eight out of ten.

We mostly use the solution as a standard firewall and email protection. 

The solution overall is fine.

It offers an easy initial setup. 

The solution is stable. 

We ultimately chose Sophos due to its good reputation and good price.

Part of the web application firewalling could be improved.

We'd always like the solution to be a bit less in terms of cost.

We bought appliances at the beginning of 2020, so we've used it for more than two years.

It is stable and reliable. It offers good performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

In terms of the overall stability of devices, I would rate it eight out of ten. 

We have around 215 people using the solution. 

I didn't need any support from Sophos. I can't speak to how they would be if someone required help. 

We found the implementation process to be easy. It's not overly complex at all. 

The costs are reasonable. I'd rate them three out of five. They could be a bit cheaper, however, it's not too bad. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They are pretty good overall. 

Sophos XGS is used by our customers as a firewall. It is a gateway or perimeter security device. We use content filtering for applications, bandwidth management, VPN, or as a web application firewall. We are using all of the features, such as authentication, captive portal, and single sign-on.

The most valuable features in Sophos XGS are bandwidth management, content filtering, and WAN link management failover. If one internet activity or one link would fail, automatically it will switch over to another one. 

The VPN capability needs some improvement in Sophos XGS.

I have been using Sophos XGS for approximately 15 years.

Sophos XGS is a very stable solution.

The architecture of Sophos XGS is fixed, it is not scalable.

The support from Sophos XGS is very good.

The initial setup of Sophos XGS is very easy and straightforward.

I rate the initial setup difficulty level of Sophos XGS a one out of five.

The price of Sophos XGS depends on the type of license. However, the licensing cost is approximately 60 percent of the total cost.

I rate Sophos XGS an eight out of ten.

It's deployed on-prem. We're using the latest version of this solution.

The SD-WAN feature isn't very good. It's there, but it doesn't work properly.
