Strong Performance And Integration Define Sophos Solution, Though Cloud Management can be improved
What do you like best about the product?
We really like performance vs price which is really good, tight integration with Sophos solutions and a very clear roadmap for the platform evolution. We really appreciate how easy it is to use and how simple and fast was its implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cloud management of complex infrastructure must be improved, Waf feauture is obsolete and Ips feature can be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to manage of a complex network infrastructure composed of multiple subnets more than 10 (connected from 40gb to a single gb), on which all security controls are carried out, starting from dns protection and arriving at the inspection via TLS of each packets by applying multiple threat detection controls. Furthermore, integrating with the Sophos MDR suite allows us to mitigate risks that derive from an endpoint compromise. The solution has allowed us to obtain an very good level of security without impacting on performance with an easy but effective management.
We use the appliance, easy to handle and maintain.
What do you like best about the product?
We use the appliance exclusively as a web proxy for outgoing internet traffic. It is easy to handle and maintain. We have rarely had problems, and the implementation in our complex environment went relatively smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appliance requires a lot of storage space for logs, with a minimum of 200 GB for one month of logs, with an average of 700 users who are online for about 8 hours a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have the need to operate many different internal networks with varying requirements and policies. However, this was successfully implemented with the Sophos Firewall Appliance.
