Simplifies Network Security with Excellent Value

  • November 26, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am truly impressed with how Sophos Firewall handles network security through its centralized platform combining IPS/IDS, web filtering, and application control. The product's URL filtering feature is particularly outstanding, allowing me to block categories based on user profiles effectively. I love the ease of managing network security; the interface is intuitive and provides excellent visibility of both traffic and users. The centralized dashboard is a huge advantage as it provides comprehensive visibility of bandwidth usage, threat alerts, system performance, and active connections, and even includes real-time traffic monitoring. This graphical view of all rules simplifies understanding rule flow. With its straightforward VPN setup and application filtering, it has made our network management simpler, more transparent, and significantly more secure. The setup process was particularly user-friendly, thanks to a helpful wizard that guided us step-by-step. Finally, the value Sophos Firewall provides for its price compared to other market vendors is commendable, earning it a high recommendation score from me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that the reporting options in Sophos Firewall could offer more flexibility for customized analysis. It would be beneficial if the system allowed users to create fully customized reports by selecting exact fields and filters. Additionally, supporting multiple export formats would enhance its functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sophos Firewall to secure our network from external threats, simplify management, enable real-time traffic monitoring, and reduce troubleshooting time. It provides reliable IPS/IDS, web filtering, application control, and VPN setup on a centralized platform.

Manages network security efficiently and improves threat detection through intuitive monitoring

  • November 25, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My use case is to use Sophos XGS as a firewall and it also handles our DHCP. We have our VPN connection to our enterprise resource planning solution.

What is most valuable?

One part I appreciate is that it is very easy to manage. Sophos XGS advanced threat protection capabilities have helped me to identify threats. It has a dashboard feature that gives alerts of activities occurring within the firewall.It has improved my security posture in my enterprise network.

What needs improvement?

One improvement I would like to see is a better activities log, such as a monitoring log that tracks activity more comprehensively.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Sophos XGS for almost over five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of Sophos XGS an 8.5 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate scalability and the ability to expand a 9.5 out of 10.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate technical support from Sophos a 9 out of 10.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for Sophos XGS is simple.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I find it hard to consider alternatives, but I think Fortinet is also simple. However, one area where I do not prefer Fortinet is in the configuration, as it is not as straightforward or simple as Sophos XGS. I prefer playing with Sophos XGS based on my own opinion and preference.

What other advice do I have?

I am currently using Sophos XGS. I have a Sophos firewall and endpoint antivirus. I am using the XG and XGS series, specifically the XGS 3300. I am not working with the real-time threat mitigation functionality. Sophos XGS has enabled my processes to run smoothly and provides the main benefits of saving time, saving money, and streamlining processes. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10 overall.

All-in-One Dashboard Makes Security Effortless

  • November 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The single dashboard that shows me everything I need to know. I can see security events, block malicious traffic, and manage user web access all from one clean interface. It's powerful but doesn't make things complicated.
What do you dislike about the product?
as per i have not facing any challenges it's working fine in my network and its very easy to manage from sophos central.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were struggling with constant security alerts from our old system that were mostly false positives. Sophos has dramatically reduced this noise with accurate threat detection. The web filtering has also helped us enforce acceptable use policies effectively. The biggest benefit is the time I save – probably 5-6 hours weekly that I used to spend managing multiple security consoles.

Provides a comprehensive setup with solid integration and consistent user feedback

  • November 11, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am working with Sophos XG, and it's one of Sophos products we are selling.

I mostly work with the on-premises version of Sophos XG.

I have used Sophos XG's Security Heartbeat feature, and our customers prefer this functionality as one of the key functions.

I have utilized Sophos XG's Sandstorm technology, and from customer feedback, it's considered a strong and good technology, but I cannot explain it thoroughly because I am a salesman.

What is most valuable?

From my perspective, the best features of Sophos XG are that it's a complex solution and its integration with endpoint and XDR, EDR systems of Sophos is quite appealing to customers.

Regarding scalability, I think it's nine. Sophos XG is really focused on small and mid-market customers. It's designed for easy implementation and easy setup. If you try to implement it into the enterprise, it's absolutely impossible because there are no functionalities required by the enterprise, and it's a nightmare. However, for the small and mid-segment, it's absolutely the best.

What needs improvement?

I cannot remember anything specific about Sophos XG that could be improved at the moment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Sophos for many years, perhaps around ten years, but I'm not certain.

How are customer service and support?

I cannot rate the technical support of Sophos on a scale from one to ten because I am a salesman and have no practical skill with the technical support of Sophos. I cannot compare it, and it feels nonsensical.

How was the initial setup?

In my opinion, it's not difficult to deploy Sophos XG. I have feedback that it's quite easy.

What about the implementation team?

I don't do installation for my customers or deployment. I am a salesman, and our partners handle that.

What was our ROI?

Regarding pricing, from my perspective, Sophos XG has good pricing because we still grow with the selling of Sophos firewalls and products every year by five to ten percent. From that point, I think it's good pricing, but you can always meet some customers who are not satisfied.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I am working not only with Sophos but also with other vendors like Barracuda. I don't have another product like the firewall, just Sophos and Barracuda as firewalls, the real firewalls.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I can say that Sophos XG is a nine.

I am not able to compare the impact of Sophos XG's Deep Packet Inspection on network security because I'm a salesman.

I would rate this review an eight overall.
