Sophos RED capabilities compared to competition

When Sophos will match competition with their RED offering like:

- QoS

- Web filtering 

Sophos was first to market with this type of device but now competition is doing far more Shrug‍♂️

  • Essentially Sophos is doing another solution. Instead of going the full circle and blow up the performance on RED(which you need to do Web filtering etc.), Sophos is investing in Zero Touch Deployment with Firewalls. As Firewalls can offer this, Sophos will bring the XGS hardware to the point, it can replace a RED with the full SFOS firewall feature set.

  • You really need to look what competition is doing. Sophos is lost in space. You are missing my point. 

  • I am a sales engineer, not a product manager. It is not my role to see the market at this point. 

    Could you share your insight with me, so i can comment on those points? Because from my perspective, i can perfectly fine replace most competitors solutions with a FW with zero touch.

  • Your perspective is way wrong. And your approach is wrong. If you are sales engineer (I am also sales/presales) you should know your competition inside-out.  Otherwise, you can find yourself in funny situation. Or not, depending on your status in company.  Don't have time to share this here. I will reach to product manager directly.

  • Ok thanks for your feedback.

  • Sorry if I sounded little bit harsh. I typed it while doing something else. Support managers, product managers should be here on these forums to speak directly with customers and partners. 

  • This forum is actually something used for Home Users and invested users to ask questions. It is not the official touch to departments within Sophos. Most partners / customers have peers like SEs to talk to and address concerns. If you do not want to share you feedback here, you likely have a connection to somebody to reach out to your target persona within Sophos.

  • This forum is actually something used for Home Users

    Please label it as "for home users" so we don't bother. 

  • The community is used by all personas, invested with Sophos. So Home users can get support here, as they have no other possibility. Other persons are using the community as well to ask questions or share feedback. 

    So if you do not want to share your feedback about your concerns here, it is fine. You have your own peers.
