"The product was easy for us to install."
"It is very stable. I have not heard of any issue where clients would have to replace hardware. It's been really stable for a long while."

"One of the main advantages of Sophos XGS is the processor. You don't have to wait a long time for when you are managing the firewall and the traffic is faster now."
