Sophos XG user reporting options.

[Jaan]

Hi all,

 

We Sophos here and we're very happy with it and the other sophos products we're also using. The only thing i feel that could be better is user level reporting. We're looking at 3rd party reporting solution that works well with the XG/S Sophos Firewalls.

 

What you guys using? I was looking at impreo and fastvue. Would like prefer something that is cloud based, supporting Google SSO would be a +.

 

Cheers all

We use Fastvue for Fastvue Reporter for Sophos XG and SG (UTM) https://www.fastvue.co/sophos/

 

Used it on our previous Sophos XG and now on our latest Sophos XGS firewalls for custom user reporting and real-time alerts etc.

is this a local install or web based?

It's a local install. You can sign up for a free trial to give it a go. Fastvue's support I have found to be very good, responding quickly etc.

 

Hoping that Sophos will launch a cloud-based filtering solution (soon) that will work with on-site Sophos XG/S rules & Sophos AV; more than just the generic category web-filtering currently provided by Sophos AV Central.

We can offer Fastvue currently as an on-premise installation, a cloud option due next year. Give me a shout if you need a quote, trial or more info.

Anybody using Smoothwall Monitor with a Sophos XG?

 

Is monitor independent of the firewall you use or is a SMoothwall Firewall a prerequisite?

They’re completely independent of each other, you install an agent on each device which need’s monitoring and access the logs via a web console

Thanks for the reply, do you know if it supports Chrome OS also independently? As in we don't need a Smoothwall device for Chromebook user authentication? Can't seem to see anything on their site about that.

Smoothwall Monitor is an application that will monitor a user's device against websites visited, keywords typed, etc and report any suspicious activity to your designated staff. This can include things like self-harm, racism, terrorism, etc. It is not a firewall or any sort of network security or filtering.

Not to get 'too salesy' but we can offer Lightspeed Human Review alongside Sophos XGS very reasonably..similar product

Yeah, it does - no need for a device at all. Monitor supports Win, Mac, Chrome, and iPads

How much is this costing you?
