Sophos Firewall Console is Easy-to-use
What do you like best about the product?
The best that I have to say about Sophos Firewall is its console and how intuitive and easy to use it is. You don't need to be expert savy or have too much experience on Firewall administration to be able to get comfortable around its menus and the features.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like the least about Sophos it's the way they structure their email notifications, it's a lot of information and sometimes you might get overwhelmed about the information. Also, the details on those notifications might fall short and not give you enough to proceed.

Sophos bring security into our company's internal network and overall infraestructure
Good centralized administration, Networkperformance leaves something to be desired
What do you like best about the product?
The centralized administration is a great tool to reduce administration overhead. The posibility to connect onPrem-Hardware to this easy is also good. The short delay between updating exeption rules for clients is nice. The Support was swift and good. At one time we enabled and misconfigured the Mailprotection. Your support was able to resolve this issue in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me the option to mix exeption rules for clients is something i wish for. So you can for example add one global exeption for all clients and then specific ones for example servers or special clients. Currently you have to copy everything and then add some. Also we experience a sharp decline in networking performance if we enable the Network Protection feature from Sophos-Endpoint security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They provide external access protection as well as a secure connection for our roadwarriors

Price, performance, and service - Unbeatable
What do you like best about the product?
At SOPHOS, you get an extremely good complete package of top hardware, very good user-friendliness, and, for me so far, unmatched service.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would have been good if we could have migrated our existing access points to the new firewall. Unfortunately, the new XGS did not offer support for our existing SOPHOS access points. Consequently, all of these had to be renewed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During a (firmware) update of the firewall, there is no live status of the current installation visible during the installation phase. It would be nice to see a progress of the process during the installation of the update.
