"SOPHOS XG - Firewall-Why you should purchase"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sophos Firewall?

This is a product that has been constantly evolving over the last few years. It has become a leader within the SMB marketplace. This is a very important component of the Sophos Sync Security solution, that ties into their award-winning endpoint and anti-ransomware solutions. The Sophos XG Firewall can be used in a home office situation, along with companies that have several remote branch locations. All the way up to enterprise organizations that are looking for a change, from their current solution. Sophos also offers a large variety of Access Points that can be controlled from Sophos Central along with your XG firewall and Endpoints, giving you the ability to control your entire security posture from one pane of glass.

I can say, that I don't have any dislikes when it comes to this product. I also applaud Sophos for constantly adding new features to this product line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sophos Firewall:

If you are not sure, evaluate the product to really get a good look and feel. We have set up several XG Firewalls, as pass-thru in order to see what the current Firewall was letting through with different client locations. The clients were amazed at the amount of unprotected traffic that was getting into their environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?

In many cases, we have been changing over competitors' products, due to lack of functionality or basically the client's current products do not meet compliance regulations that are required by their particular industry. One of the points that have been brought up to us by several clients is the ease of use with the interface for the XG Firewall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
