Security of SOPHOS Firewall

I love how granular I can be with our Web policies to protect our users. I can easily use file type restrictions to prevent executable downloads and create a user portal for authorised users to approved downloads too.

Occasionally firmware updates have been a little buggy upon release. It would be good practise to wait a month if the update is not critical.

I can easily protect my users from online threats and protect traffic between my local networks. It gives me peace of mind know I can easily solve network problems should they arise.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
a great option to consider if looking for an affordable but advanced firewall
High-quality top-of-the-line protection
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how they add a multitude of features without making you pay a "ransom's" worth of licensing costs. If you increase your bandwidth, the XG doesn't require you to pay an additional licensing fee. This is so rare in the industry these days.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only real thing I disliked was the original process of getting this equipment licensed. We already owned a previous smaller XG model, and we had to work with license support to get a temporary license while we waited for our older model's license to expire. Other than that it is excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to get ISP WAN load balancing, reduce bandwidth licensing costs, and add additional DDOS and other security features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sophos is a great company and really willing to work with you on discounts. I recommend starting early and negotiating with them to get the best deal upfront. Additionally, I recommend if you buy an XG to dump your other products that this can take the place of. Save yourself some money and use the XG to it's potential!
