It is one of the best firewalls when it comes to Unified Threat Management. We also found it easy to install/implement and it has plenty of features we can use as needed to meet future requirements without having to go back to the drawing board.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use and powerful features (e.g. UTM).

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Web UI takes some time to get into and could be easier to use in some areas, However, an easier to use UI frequently comes with less features and functionality and I wouldn't want that.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take a test drive and see what features you can get from Sophos that your current vendor might not offer!
