Hello
i updated both of our ASG120 with the 9.2 Soft Release after reading some of the positive feedback about the better performance. the performance has never been so bad. We disabled the Intrusion Prevention a year ago because everything was so slow. Web protection was always enabled and surfing the internet was never fast but after the update somtimes you cant open a homepage for minutes, no matter how many times you refresh. So now i even have to disable the web filtering most of the day because the customers keep complaining about it. i also tried the Speeding up webbrowsing by blocking advertisers and trackers guide from Sascha Paris.
Sophos writes that this system is for up to 80 users, we have 10 users and and a 150 Mbit connection with most of the features disabled we can barely use it.
So this is my impression about this release.
Best regards,

you need at least a 220 and depending on the number of users and your configuration you may need a 320 to be able to stuff that pipe. I suggest you get a hold of a reseller(i'm one) if you don't have one to get a properly sized and configured unit for you.

We signed a three year deal with Sophos for hardware units, and now I can see half of them being underpowered after 1.5 years.
I think I won't be buying any more hardware UTM units again. Also, some of the resellers are less skilled at support than I am...
