Sophos XGS Reviews

Sophos XGS's best features are its VPN and ATPR1 cert protection. It's also very user-friendly and makes managing roles and policies very easy.

There are some issues with conversion and user roles when upgrading to Cyberoam.

I've been using Sophos XGS for two years.

Sophos XGS is stable.

Sophos XGS is scalable.

Sophos's technical support is excellent.

I previously used Cyberoam, but Sophos XGS's licensing is easier.

Sophos XGS's pricing is very affordable.

I would give Sophos XGS a rating of ten out of ten.

We mostly use the solution as a standard firewall and email protection. 

The solution overall is fine.

It offers an easy initial setup. 

The solution is stable. 

We ultimately chose Sophos due to its good reputation and good price.

Part of the web application firewalling could be improved.

We'd always like the solution to be a bit less in terms of cost.

We bought appliances at the beginning of 2020, so we've used it for more than two years.

It is stable and reliable. It offers good performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

In terms of the overall stability of devices, I would rate it eight out of ten. 

We have around 215 people using the solution. 

I didn't need any support from Sophos. I can't speak to how they would be if someone required help. 

We found the implementation process to be easy. It's not overly complex at all. 

The costs are reasonable. I'd rate them three out of five. They could be a bit cheaper, however, it's not too bad. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They are pretty good overall. 

Sophos XGS is used by our customers as a firewall. It is a gateway or perimeter security device. We use content filtering for applications, bandwidth management, VPN, or as a web application firewall. We are using all of the features, such as authentication, captive portal, and single sign-on.

The most valuable features in Sophos XGS are bandwidth management, content filtering, and WAN link management failover. If one internet activity or one link would fail, automatically it will switch over to another one. 

The VPN capability needs some improvement in Sophos XGS.
