Control panel for a firewall that is easy to read

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Sophos Firewall from other similar products?

It has an easy-to-use control panel and can completely monitor not just the FW, but the whole NW for the administrator to observe. Because this device can perform the vast majority of tasks, a multi-layered rack structure is unnecessary, making administration easier and the display more appealing. Personally, I like the management interface on the dashboard. After all, it is easier to understand if it is represented visually.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

A dashboard that is easy to comprehend at a glance is ideal since it gives the information required for security management and maintenance. I am overjoyed with the prospect of working with endpoints. FW may now be handled centrally from the cloud, making management easier. I was able to provide employees and supervisors with a sense of security, and the manager felt less concerned as a result. Daily monitoring and updates are essential as they don't become 0, but it can still happen if you're unlucky. When I am infected with malware, I prefer the quarantine tool. Work that is delayed due to infection is definitely a waste of time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I am really pleased with the usage since the operations and functions that I hoped I had done in this manner are now in the form that I intended.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Considering collaboration between the endpoint and the gateway is something that other firms cannot achieve, it is highly recommended if you want to simplify administration in any circumstance. If you're unsure how much to cover, go ahead and cover everything because you'll have fewer regrets if you include all of the network's equipment.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service
  • Caring

What is your favorite aspect of this product?
