Firewall Question

So, I know a lot of these are usually paid, but got the quadrant report from GTIA(CompTIA), and it shows Sophos as the leader. Now, while I think Sophos is nice. I fail to see how it's the leader. I also don't see Netgate on there either. Which is odd, because I know of a LOT of MSPs and IT Departments that use them. Plus, they are inherently more secure than Sophos as they don't default to phone home.

We use Netgate. Used to use Sophos. Have dabbled with Meraki. All are not bad firewalls. But, the list seems to ignore 90% of stats. It even shows Cisco down with Huawei.

So, question time. What is your go to brand? Do you read these G2 reports from GTIA (CompTIA)? How inaccurate are they? Are they a paid shill platform like the others that have graphs?
