"The most valuable features of Sophos XG are the ease of management and good out-of-the-box reporting."
"The solution is more cost-effective than FortiGate, Cisco and Palo Alto, which have very expensive licenses."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The UI could be improved."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"The support system could be improved."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"There is an area that is very specific to our setup, where working tools you cannot easily establish a VPN between two internal networks."
"Technical support can be slow to respond, which is something that should be improved."
"Sophos can improve the debugging of the WAPS function."
"Sophos XG should improve on the GDPR features involving data protection and encryption. Security regarding data protection is important."
"The product's user interface has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I've had experience with Sophos XG's threat intelligence features, and they provide good coverage, although I wouldn't say they're the best in the industry. The sandbox feature is available with top-tier subscriptions, allowing you to test content in a cloud sandbox. One improvement I'd suggest for Sophos XG is to make certain functionalities, like CR functionality, part of the default firewalling rather than exclusive to premium subscriptions. Enhancing DLP capabilities at the gateway level could significantly boost security for organizations."
"We recently did an upgrade on the Sophos XG firmware and we were surprised that after the upgrade, the automatic switch actually we were using did not work anymore."
"Their support is fairly good, and they come back to me. I've had an issue once or twice where I couldn't understand what the support person was saying because those calls were probably routed to India. They were a bit difficult to understand, but it is generally not an issue."
