Sophos RED capabilities compared to competition

damiri

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♂️

    And i found the old thread of yours about the same topic.

    https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/discussions/134178/sd-red-local-breakout-webfiltering-qos/494699#494699

    And this is something, still the point of discussion of what to do in which scenario.

    As i said, the ecosystem completes different visions. Endpoint Webscanning is some sort the way to go compared to a "web proxy in the cloud". Because using a proxy in the cloud could potentially be a dead end. Utilize Scanning engines on the web filter like the endpoint is doing it, would be the best way to resolve this part of SASE. Giving the endpoint more responsibility is more likely the best approach in the future.

    That thread was relevant at that time. Since we are competing with other vendors which has far better support and feature set then Sophos at the moment, already delivering by their partners.

    Many customers would disagree with this. Many customer actually moving away from this. At least what I am able to see in Germany, Austria and Balkans.

    can you also comment on rest of these product what Sophos will, I hope soo, make GA and how they will affect endpoint?

    Actually this HTTPS Scan engine is already in place on the endpoint for some time. It is about to manage this solution in a centralized manner. But the endpoint can do this right now and decrypt traffic, block traffic etc. 

    Please reach out to your SE peers to discuss this further. Customer will move away from this solution, because they are lacking the capabilities on management, which is going to be addressed in the future. 

    And again: I am not a Product manager and i cannot comment on any timeframes or anything.
