"Powerful Centralized Console but with WiFi and Web Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sophos Firewall?

I appreciate the centralized console of Sophos Firewall, which allows for complete control of the situation. Thanks to this console, we have an updated and unified view of the devices across the entire group. Additionally, it allows for remote access without needing to be on-site. The initial setup was quite easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos Firewall?

I find that managing WiFi through Sophos APs does not work well because they do not handle VLANs. Additionally, I often encounter errors with web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmatched Security with Easy Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Sophos Firewall?

I think Sophos Firewall is one of the best products I've seen. We use it to protect our ecosystem and make the security much stronger in our organization. It helps us protect against phishing attacks, ransomware, and malware, and also allows us to control the use of websites. I love that the firewall works quickly to remove threats and integrates with XDR, MDR, and EDR solutions, making it a powerful tool for managing the entire security posture. Plus, the initial setup is very easy—it's plug and play, which is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Protection, But It Consumes Too Many Resources"
4/5
What do you like best about Sophos Firewall?

What I like most about Sophos Firewall is its ability to offer comprehensive network protection from a single platform. It helps me protect the institutional network and prevent unauthorized access, for example when a cybercriminal tries to access the academic grading system by generating login attempts with different user combinations. I also appreciate that it is a more intuitive and easy-to-manage platform, like Sophos Central, Endpoint, and Firewall, which was precisely the reason for switching from Fortinet. Another thing I like is the simplicity of the initial setup, such as the setup wizard that guides you step by step through the basic configuration, which considerably reduces implementation time.

What do you dislike about Sophos Firewall?

{"The learning curve for administrators is complicated for me.","I notice a high resource consumption on corporate devices.","The licensing costs generate a constant expense within the campus.","The devices become slow because, in addition to running Sophos, they run the endpoint and other packages in the background that consume excessive RAM due to their constant scanning."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
