What differentiates Sophos Firewall from other similar products?
The thing that I liked the most when comparing with other brands was that Sophos included all the features of the firewall with one license. In other brands you had to purchase features separately with different licenses. Also they allow to have 2 firewalls for redundancy without the need to buy licenses twice.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It integrates fully with our sophos endpoint and it can all be administered from the cloud with one console.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is really nothing that I dislike about it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Always check against the competition since offers change every couple of months or every year. Also check what other products from the vendor you might need or have. For example with Sophos, we manage firewall, wifi and endpoint all from the same console. This makes administration of the whole solution easier and from one central console. This like this should always be taken into consideration when buying something like this that should last at least 5 years.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service
