What do you like best about the product?
It's not the easiest solution to setup when You start to work with it, but appears You just have to get used to logic that Sopgos uses and then everything starts to flow. Even if we get some roadblocks, local support really helps in daily questions and urgent cases. And overall bang for the buck is really attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some UI features and some UI visually has to step up compared to competitors. Of course there are even worse vendors with even worse UI, but it needs to step up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of course - security. Helps to protect from outside and inside risks.
Secondary - helped to connect our branches to main main office without need to buy expensive VPNs from ISP vendors.

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).
