I like the simple user interface of the firewall. Rule creation is easy and intuitive. Advanced networking features are very useful, and support from Sophos has been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Sophos is at the forefront of development in their XG firewall line, sometimes firmware updates introduce their own bugs. I can't trust all firmware updates and have to wait to read forum reviews of each one prior to deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Sophos XG firewalls at each of our branch locations to unify the security of both internal and external communications. We also use the XG firewalls to network our offices together with IPSec, thus allowing us to get away from expensive MPLS. Further, we have really used the XG firewalls to enable a rapid work from home shift with integrated VPN.

I believe XG firewall is a great choice for small and medium businesses looking for a way to secure their networks and provide an intuitive, comprehensive way to network their locations.
