RE: Give us your thoughts, feedback and questions on the new Sophos Community

JaipalNair
I have installed free UTM on Vmware 9 with 2 GB ram and connected only one machine. After some time (not very busy surfing) I found that memory utilization is almost 68% !!. Is this an memory hungry UTM ?

While browsing there are some intermittent delays, like opening a new page and search anything on google, the delay is unacceptable.

And one last thing is why Sophos site is very complicated, when I try to download it was too confusing, after registration took more than 1 hour to get the authorization and took me lot of time to search for the download.

Why !!

    2GB RAM is far too less, don't start below 4GB.
    What are the specs of the underlying hardware (CPU, NICs, HDDs)?

    2 GB is plenty depending on which functions you have activated and how many users you have.
    On largers networks with alot of traffic you def. need more RAM. I am running a Sophos UTM on a vServer with only 1 GB Ram that only serves a RED Tunnel Endpoint with no problems. (about 60% Ram usage)

    Ben,

    I agree, if you're only using some VPN or simple firewalling. As soon as intrusion prevention and web filtering come into play you will get the symptoms the OP has: lags, slow web browsing, faulsy reporting, ...
