Sophos has a nice user interface and works well with other equipment

The user interface is nice and clean and pretty straight forward which is nice when first starting to use Sophos. I have also found that it works well with most other systems, whether that be other firewalls, or other equipment like switches and phone systems.

I haven't really run into any problems at this point to complain about.

The setup was smooth and easy, the GUI is simple and has all the features and tools you need. Sophos's key points are the excellent security and threat management which is essential for any company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really say anything negative about this product other than the price is a bit too high.

This solution has secured and protected our business for over 2 years now. Very easy to manage, requires little training to get familiar. Would buy it again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend you check out this solution for your business. Setup is easier than Sonicwall and Cisco, and managing Sophos is simply a breeze. Do yourself a favor and go check their website.
Good overall product with some minor improvements to be made
What do you like best about the product?
Using the UTM for over 2 years now, and still like it very much. The setup is easy and within 15 minutes your up and running. Web GUI has everything you need, all grouped together (some things aren't that logical, but as with the latest updates this is improving a bit).
For me this are the top features i like about the UTM;
-- It's relative light weight, so easy to run on some older hardware you have laying around. But I don't have any problems with newer more "enterprise" hardware as well.
-- A ton of functions (like a UTM should have). Everything from simple Firewall & NAT to Email (encryption) & advanced routing protocols
-- Easy and nice Web UI (speaking as a someone who normally skips products with a GUI), it contains all the information you need.
-- The Live log is just great!
-- The ability to "map" hosts, users, groups etc. is very handy. This way you just have to change your settings in one place in stead of reconfiguring everything where you use that particular host.
-- LDAP/AD integration is essential for enterprise usage, and works as expected.

What do you dislike about the product?
-- The CLI, it's just a regular Bash shell but with minimal packages. There also isn't a way to install your own sinds there is no package manager and build software is missing. I think they can improve here a lot. For instance adding a package manager so we can install software on or one but preferable add a "Cisco-like" CLI, so that we can manage all the functions that are in the Web UI with a sophos-*** command.
-- Some minor inconsistency in the menus, but as i mentioned already, this is improving and not that big of a problem.

Looking for a good solution I can deploy at my customers offices. It offers all I need, with the UTM Manager it's a breeze to manage all the instances.

Enterprise:
Have a good look at the different licensing options, they are based on the amount of active IP's so it's fairly easy to make your decision.

It's FREE :)

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.
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.
