Sophos UTM to XGS: A worth migration
What do you like best about the product?

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XGS Firewalls provide a robust, reliable, and resolute method for securing a network while providing several major features all in one piece of stellar hardware. With the hardware upgrades to the XGS line, and the subsequent regular software improvements that get released, you have a device that does the work of what used to be 4 or 5 individual pieces of enterprise network hardware.
Specifically, I was able to consolidate my ISP load balancing, site-to-site VPN tunnel, packet shaping, and client VPN devices all down into a singular powerful device at the front. This saves time, consolidates knowledge, and provides cost savings to any institution who wishes to adopt it as their primary firewall device.
That, coupled with a consolidated support structure through Sophos all contributes to my favorite components of the device.

What do you dislike about the product?
Traffic Logging needs a bit of additional improvement, but with subsequent software releases it has gotten better over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Packet shaping, QOS, load balancing, secure VPN communications
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.
Advance security that is easy to manage
What do you like best about the product?
Advance security with great visibility, high level rules and policies to customize firewall needs. easy to backup and update via cloud managed.
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed virtual firewall in AWS to protect our private cloud from the internet. needed visibility of all traffic in and out of AWS internet.
