FortiGate is for large to enterprise size companies who need more granular security and IPSec tunnels. Sophos is a small to medium company for me (we would rather use Cisco than Sophos). You will have to scope each individual company or site to make a decision. ![]() FortiGate has limited reporting but you can keep 7 days worth of reporting for free on FortiCloud.Īgain most of the comments are for smaller networks. We have endless issues at one of our clients regarding this.Ĥ. ![]() Sophos is trying to go to cloud the same as Cisco Meraki does but with a lot of bugs and issues on their cloud platform. FortiGate is easier to manage and in my experience much more stable and reliable.ģ. FortiGate has much more security and web filtering options to really bring control to a granular level.Ģ. Sophos firewall has limited capability when it comes to security. Here are my reasons for choosing FortiGate:ġ. You haven't specified your environment so it's not easy to scale which firewall will be best. I know the firewalls change every 5 to 7 years as stated but you really do need to upgrade any firewall due to hardware at least every 5 years. From my experience regarding both the Sophos and FortiGate firewalls, I personally would rather use FortiGate.
