A simple but effective firewall appliance
What do you like best about the product?
The Sophos XG firewall appliance running UTM v9 software is an affordable way to achieve a very good level of perimeter security. The XG-210 model we use is adequate for SMEs, smaller sites and branch offices and does the job well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite being easy to use, the web console can be a bit tedious to use. Moreover, it can be necessary to manually force-check for updates from time to time, and the updates almost always require a reboot, which is a problem for always-on 24/7 services. It is therefore recommended to run two devices in failover mode or in high-availability mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With two redundant and synchronised Sophos UTM firewalls, we're able to efficiently protect the perimeter of our hosting sites and if one of the appliances were to fail, the other one would take over and continue to protect our servers.
