I believe that this solution might be of great benefit to smaller organizations where data information is not crucial. Sophos NAC helps prevent security breaches while managing network access effectively. The maintenance of the program is quite undemanding and easy. I would rate it an eight and a half out of ten.

We're using the latest version of the firmware. The product has been updated according to the different releases made by Sophos since Sophos has introduced some improvements in the product in terms of functionality. We update mainly to guarantee the security of the product in terms of capacity and to be in line with the trends that the markets are requesting. It's also important to stay updated on the cybersecurity aspect. Updates ensure the capacity to avoid any possible intrusion in the next wall and guarantee that the system is able to predict and protect against some situations.

We have a hybrid setup. You can decide to install a single agent on the different devices and have the agent interact directly with the cloud instead of moving through the firewall. This is a part of how you might want to configure the architecture of the systems, Mainly, there is always some activity and data managed on the cloud. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It is a solution that can provide a good level of service to a company. You can use it to protect your company and to have a good level of security.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I am not necessarily using the latest version of the solution. I am using different kinds of versions. It depends on the customer's needs. Normally, I approach the client to try to understand their needs, and, following this, I will choose which is product can satisfy them.

The deployments also differ according to the client's needs. Typically, it is on-premises. That said, this product can also work in Cloud which means the servers can be shared between on-premise and on the cloud. This is mainly, for a double level of security. In this way, the product can be managed on-premise and can be managed with that access on the Cloud. 

I can usually propose a simple solution and a simple model. In other situations, however, I have to use products that are more sophisticated in terms of hardware and in terms of the performance that is required.

I would recommend the solution to others. The product has the capabilities to satisfy all kinds of needs that a company may have. You can find the right solution without spending a lot of money. The solution is very powerful from this point of view.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

I'm a partner of Sophos Network Access Control.

My advice to anyone looking to implement Sophos Network Access Control is that it's better to have an entire ecosystem of Sophos products because Sophos even covers the entire OSI layer. You get protection for the OSI layer and can secure your entire network. Sophos can provide MDM, firewall, endpoint-to-endpoint protection, etc. If you use Sophos, you will get general coverage for your system, so my advice to anybody who wants to use Sophos Network Access Control is to use it. As your company, services, and operations keep expanding, keep adding different Sophos products, and your network will be fine.

I'd rate Sophos Network Access Control as six out of ten because the product will struggle in enterprise-level environments, such as banks. Still, Sophos has done a lot of work on the product, so for an average user, Sophos Network Access Control works fine.

We're just a customer and an end-user. We're an educational institution. We don't have a business relationship with Sophos. 

We are using the Sophos Firewall model number XG 310. The Access Point model number is 740.

The client has many options when it comes to solutions like this. Other options include Ruckus and Aruba. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's been okay.

We're a Sophos partner. We tend to use both deployment models. Mainly, the hardware is on-premise, but all the management is on the cloud. For me, it's a better way to use this solution.

The system right now covers all my needs and it's very comfortable to work with.

For those considering implementing the solution, they need to be sure to have a complete overview of the system at the beginning. They need to know how they want to solve the need and the problems that they have. Everyone should start with an overview from the top.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would recommend Sophos, including Intercept X which is their anti-virus software for endpoints. I would also advise, if you are getting Sophos, to make sure you upgrade systems from 4 GB to 8 GB and make sure you upgrade your systems from Windows 7 to Windows 10, so you will be fully protected.
