  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our IT team has installed Sophos firewall on all of our company's workstations and laptops to keep our own data and our customer's data secure. This program runs in the background and I don't even notice it, but it keeps me secure at work.

Sophos firewall can block many programs you try to install or websites you try to browse that may be required for your job. These needs are changing every day, and you may need to work with your IT team to allow certain permissions that may change every week.

Complex but Easy to Utilize

  • January 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos XG and XGS firewall provides the most user friendly interface I have ever seen.

I've handled Palo Alto, Checkpoint and Juniper firewalls and none of these can top my experience with Sophos in regards with simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Not that complex with application control.

- NAT is also confusing to new users.

- Cyberoam users are having a hard time migrating to XG because of the linked NAT rule
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SNAT and DNAT are very easy once you're able to get the hands of it. Sophos firewall can be registered in Sophos central to connect Sophos products for lateral movement protection.

Ok product with poor support

  • January 10, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Intrusion prevention system works fine and do the job as expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support almost not exist. Support agents generally have no idea what they are doing and acting irresponsibly on the production environment and leaving so many mess behind. Response time is total joke for critical cases (eg; 2-3 days one email and even you reply immediately you get second response after another 2-3 days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content filtering and firewall, however not at desired level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If support is important to you then look for a different product. You will feel alone when the things goes south.
