Multi-purspose and sometimes overcomplicated product.
We used this product during our evaluation of software for client's VPNs.
It works well, but:
* configuration from my point of view is over-complicated
* documentation is sometimes confusing
* technical support is not very responsive
I would use this software only if I wouldn't have another choice.

very easy
There are a lot of functions related to security, its functions can be controlled from the WEB is a good. We are going to try using a time when there is a requirement of the customer.
straightforward, works
Good documentation
Easy finding of objects
Good base (redhat derivative, uses rpm's from package management, can use tcpdump via ssh!)
Simple openvpn setup
Easy to map elastic ip's to aliases - great reverse proxy (Passes outlook anywhere =)) and NAT
I was basically suprised at how nice it was =), well done sophos!
SOPHOS security review
Hi friends, I did try SOPHOS during trial period. My short feedback is - looks like I'll use it on the regular scheme - really great product! There is all what I need and nothing nonsense.
Nice virtual UTM
Nice UTM virtual appliance.
Integrates complete security software within a single EC2. Its possible to choose only the protection you need when you need it.
But ask Sophos to help you to set the right virtual host to suit your needs and avoid spending money on over dimentioned VMs.
AD integration would be easier to set up.
Easy to set up
However, no getting started guide on how to access the VM. Would be great to have instead of looking through the forums
Good to Use
Sophos is good to user due to it's free and give nice antivirus function.
Combine with amazon EC2 is more powerful and convenient.
Wroks well and easy to setup
I'll be honest. I started the Sophos trial mainly for the AWS credits, but after five days and 78 blocked SSH login attempts, I will seriously consider purchasing a license for our company.
