Advanced user of Sophos XG FirewallSophos XG Firewall is easy to configure and use, but extremely flexible and powerful. Sophos provides excellent training on their products (including the XG firewall), and their support is very helpful. You can download a free trial at any point and setup a test virtual firewall on spare hardware (or as a VM) to become familiar with the firewall and features without any type of commitment or limitation. They also provide a free version of their virtual firewall for home use.
There have been some bugs in the XG / SFOS firewall versions, and some feature parity discrepancies between the older firewall OS (UTM) and the XG firewall OS (SFOS), but Sophos has made excellent strides in resolving those issues. The latest major release (SFOS v18) has added an impressive level of flexibility and customization to adapt to modern requirements for firewalls.
Sophos XG firewall is an excellent choice for a cost effective, feature packed, and security focused firewall. Their training is top notch, and easily accessible on demand. I have seen the Sophos XG firewall operating system and appliance features grow and mature over the years, and they are one of the best firewalls that I have had the pleasure of using.
Sophos XG firewalls work excellently as a one stop solution for routing, firewalling, webserver protection, email gateway, VPN appliance, and more. Sized properly, the firewalls provide more than adequate capacity and throughput. The reporting and Sophos Central integration are excellent, and allow for secure remote administration and great scheduled reporting. The Synchronized Security with Sophos InterceptX for servers and workstations is fantastic, and lets you easily view the applications running in your environment, as well as enforce greater levels of security when an endpoint is compromised.
