Does Sophos Red 15 support PPPoE connection?
Hi Louis,
I'm not in the sales staff, but a RED15 lies at ~300€ (ontime), a SG105 starts around 590€ ( onetime + 100€ yearly), SG115 800€ + 130€ yearly.
Surely a difference, but in my opinion those are "peanuts" as Mr. Ackermann from Deutsche Bank used to say.
I'm a big fan of REDs as homeoffice devices ("here, plug this cable in your FritzBox or whatever and this cable into your laptop" - plug & play so to say), but for connecting remote sites I prefer UTMs since their beaviour is more reliable and troubleshooting is much easier. If the remote site grows a UTM can be easily upgraded with WLAN, WEB, whatever. A RED is a RED and will only ever be a RED.
Gruß / Regards,

For a small office (not much more than 5 people), the RED 15 works if there's not a really fast WAN connection. Beyond that, I prefer the SG 115 over the RED 50. It's more flexible and less expensive for six years if you consider the extended warranty costs for the RED 50.
