Qotom q355g4 or Sophos sg115

Nabil R1

Hi,

I have the opportunity to get an old SG115 for half the price of a qotom box. Still both are in my price range.

How do they compare perf wise to run Sophos XG Home with all features enabled ?

I run a small homelab at home, with two wifi AP (IOT vs Trusted clients), and quite a large number of sessions running at the same time (mostly VMs).

Edit : Forgot to mention, I currently run it as a VM on Proxmox on an Intel NUC but considering the extra hardware as anytime I need to reboot proxmox the whole network goes down 

Thanks for the help.

    The main aim of the XG firewall cpu is hertz, the faster the better, not precessing power. The home use recommendations are fast cpu with 4 real cores, 6gb of ram, use intel nics though not 219 or 225 series and about 120gb of ssd if you have a high speed internet connection.

    the amd chip is very old 2013 and I don’t think it is suitable, very slow and not one I would use.
