A next-gen firewall that delivers on visibility, ease of use, and seamless integration
What do you like best about the product?
What stands out the most is the incredibly smooth deployment process. The One Touch setup made it easy to bring our firewalls online. Even at remote sites, without the usual headaches. The central management console is also a highlight: it’s clean, intuitive, and allows us to manage multiple devices and policies without getting lost in complexity.
Another strength is the granularity of network protection policies. We can create highly specific rules based on users, applications, traffic types, or even behavioral patterns. This level of detail lets us tailor security precisely to our business needs, while keeping full visibility on network activity at all times.

What do you dislike about the product?
There’s very little to criticize. Occasionally, loading detailed views in the dashboard can take a few extra seconds when handling a high volume of data, but this is rare and doesn’t impact overall usability or performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The combination of XGS firewalls with the Sophos endpoint agent provides a synchronized security approach that we truly value. If a workstation shows suspicious behavior, the firewall can automatically isolate it from the network in real-time, greatly reducing threat exposure. This lateral movement control is one of the features that convinced us to go with Sophos.

Sophos Firewall

Sophos Firewall syncs great with the endpoints and logging real-time traffic is great. Sophos in general offers so much from being able to see all devices and alerts from the firewall in one location in Sophos Central. The best part of Sophos is the MDR side of it knowing I can go home at night, and my environment is still being watched.

When trying to be more granular on configurations of rules it can get a little complex and confusing for someone who is less experienced. That can be said for web filtering as well. But all in all, it's a good product.

Versatile Network Security For Small IT Team
What do you like best about the product?
Central Management through Sophos Central is crucial for us, having a few remote locations to manage. Also the ability to have everything managed in one plane, including network security, end-point security and MDM is great. The XGS platform is very versatile and simple enough to setup and manage for a small IT team. Given the nature of our operations, the ability to enforce safe search at the gateway level is a must and managing web content and applications policies is a lot easier than the previous product we had.
What do you dislike about the product?
-Sometimes it is a bit challenging to troubleshoot issues using the log viewer.
-IP addresses are not sorted in true incremental order in some areas of the management GUI. (x.x.x.1, x.x.x.100, x.x.x.2, instead of x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2, x.x.x.100)
-Certain Access Points can only be managed through Sophos Central.
-1st Gen XGS Wi-Fi models do not support concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi.

Endpoint Synced AI -Next gen Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
Sophos Firewall is easy to manage, even for non-technical users. The interface is intuitive, simplifying policy creation and security management. Its strong security features effectively block threats and provide clear visibility into network traffic. Performance is stable, rarely impacting network speed or reliability. However, sometimes firmware updates can be tricky and require extra attention to avoid configuration issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
While overall Sophos Firewall works well, a few things could be improved. Firmware updates can sometimes cause unexpected issues or require careful manual steps. The reporting features, although detailed, could be more customizable and easier to export. Occasionally, troubleshooting complex policies or NAT rules can be a bit confusing without deeper technical knowledge. Also, some advanced features, like SD-WAN configuration, feel a little less polished compared to competitors. Finally, support response times can vary — sometimes very fast, but other times slower than expected depending on the issue severity.

It also simplifies managing internet access and application control for users across different departments.
