### "Security is necessity."

February 21, 2020

4.0

I personally found very good product for my company and my other remote sites for security.

Pros

Protraction from Unknown application and threats & suspicious attacks, Reporting is best (centralized resorting among different firewalls via Sophos iView

Cons

Hanging issue is occurred any time, end user face issues so its hard to resolve quickly.

Reason for choosing XG Firewall

as per my friend experience. we use as a trail then finalize.

Pros

Outstanding Firewall, that allows you to tie in the Sophos Endpoint/Intercept X/EDR solution. To protect your organization from Endpoint to Firewall. The product line has been winning many awards this past year.

Probably one of the best keep secrets, that once people find out about it, and do a trial. They fall in love with the solution.

### "One of the best firewalls"

August 18, 2020

5.0

Overall a good investment to protect your network against attacks.

Pros

The product demo was amazing and the team really liked the product. It's easy to implement and comes with number of features.

Cons

based on appliance size if you turn all the features on it can become a bottleneck hence one needs to be very careful.

### "Sophos XG Firewall"

July 3, 2019

4.0

Pros

Sophos XG Firewall ties in very nicely with our Endpoint solution from Sophos, it allows us to utilize Sync-Security, between all the Endpoints and Servers, working directly with the XG Firewall to protect all the managed devices.

Cons

Takes a little time to set up, support does an excellent job of helping and support with any new changes. Once it is up and running you and monitor and maintain everything thru Central.

### "Excellent Product"

September 14, 2019

4.0

We are using the Sophos firewall with Endpoint protection for the overall security of the IT infrastructure.

Pros

Its an easy to use firewall with excellent support. If you have used Cyberoam before then you will this product similar to use.

Cons

The overall application is good , however you may notice that the device takes time to respond when clicked on an icon. This may improve eventually with firmware upgrades.

### "sophos xg firewall usage"

June 11, 2020

5.0

It is a preferable product with ease of use and pricing for computing.

Pros

The cyberoam product, formerly known as Sophos, is a simple product to integrate with other easy-to-use products for the IT department. The interface performance of the system allows you to see everything.

Cons

You can write detailed security rules in Sophos. If you synchronize with the Endpoint product, you will provide even more detailed user security.
