SOPHOS It's Simply Better.
What do you like best about the product?
As a network administrator, I’ve found the Sophos Firewall XGS2100 to be a reliable, easy to implement and efficient solution for securing our network. It provides strong threat protection with features like deep packet inspection and intrusion prevention, while still maintaining solid performance. The interface is straightforward, which makes policy management, VPN setup, and traffic shaping easy to handle. It also integrates well with our existing infrastructure and gives us clear visibility into network activity. Overall, it helps reduce downtime and keeps our environment secure without adding complexity. The customer support is very effective and super fast in my experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there is no MAC ID based authentication method. If it's available, the authentication of permanent staff of any institution/firm is made very simple. And it's easy to monitor their activities.
Currently there is only one option available based on MAC ID. That is MAC based filtering by using specific rules. But its look like bypassing a bunch of clients. In this method there is no option to monitor their activities.
Need authentication application for mobile platform (android & ios) and desktop (windows, linus, and mac).

Sophos Firewall Console is Easy-to-use
What do you like best about the product?
The best that I have to say about Sophos Firewall is its console and how intuitive and easy to use it is. You don't need to be expert savy or have too much experience on Firewall administration to be able to get comfortable around its menus and the features.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like the least about Sophos it's the way they structure their email notifications, it's a lot of information and sometimes you might get overwhelmed about the information. Also, the details on those notifications might fall short and not give you enough to proceed.

Good centralized administration, Networkperformance leaves something to be desired
What do you like best about the product?
The centralized administration is a great tool to reduce administration overhead. The posibility to connect onPrem-Hardware to this easy is also good. The short delay between updating exeption rules for clients is nice. The Support was swift and good. At one time we enabled and misconfigured the Mailprotection. Your support was able to resolve this issue in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me the option to mix exeption rules for clients is something i wish for. So you can for example add one global exeption for all clients and then specific ones for example servers or special clients. Currently you have to copy everything and then add some. Also we experience a sharp decline in networking performance if we enable the Network Protection feature from Sophos-Endpoint security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They provide external access protection as well as a secure connection for our roadwarriors
