The primary use case for the solution is as a perimeter protection firewall, which includes functionalities such as VPN, web control, and traffic inspection. It is used in various customer environments, providing comprehensive security management and network protection.
My company deals with eight clients who use Sophos UTM. My company's clients mainly use Sophos UTM for protection against threats and for other purposes like content filtering, web filtering, and VPNs.
Sophos UTM offers considerable protection and employs a very well-structured pricing scheme. It's a good choice for businesses that need a basic security solution with a good price-performance ratio. However, it's not a good choice for businesses that need a complex security solution. That's why I'm also considering Fortinet, which can provide a more comprehensive security solution.
There are multiple use cases, and a few examples would be its use in the education, banking, or financial sectors. There are so many other locations and sectors where they deploy this solution.
Our company is a partner and reseller of the solution. We lease, sell, and license boxes for our clients. Use cases are rather unique and not uniform. We provide support for a few SMBs around the country. Some customers are heavy users, with involved configurations, and the setup may include high availability configured with two boxes. Others use it as just a gateway between their infrastructure and the internet with very simple configurations that don't include web filtering. Active directory integration domain is used for some, but not all customers. Common items include DNATs and SSL VPN. Most customers use VPNs, and site-to-site connections (REDs or IPsec). We also use virtualized UTMs for LABs.

We plan on using XG for the next few years, but we are going to stop using UTM on our main site.
