Sophos Firewall XGS 108
The Sophos XGS 108 firewall is typically designed for small to medium-sized businesses. While it doesn’t have a fixed “maximum” user limit, it can generally support around 50-100 users for light to moderate usage, depending on the specific network demands, such as:
- Traffic Load: Higher volumes of data (e.g., video conferencing, large file transfers) will reduce the number of supported users.
- Enabled Features: Activating additional security features (like advanced threat protection, sandboxing, or web filtering) can impact performance and reduce the user capacity.
- Concurrent Connections: The XGS 108 can handle up to 6 million concurrent connections, which gives a general idea of its capacity for various traffic types.

SOPHOS XGS 88w FIREWALLS
The Sophos XGS 88w, similar to the XGS 88, is intended for small offices or branch locations with moderate user numbers. It is equipped with integrated Wi-Fi (the “w” denotes wireless capability), making it suitable for businesses needing both firewall protection and wireless networking in one device.
The Sophos XGS 88w can generally support up to 25 users comfortably under typical use cases, though the optimal number of users may be lower (around 10-20 active users) if many advanced security features are enabled simultaneously. This recommendation assumes moderate browsing, standard business application use, and some level of VPN or remote access traffic.
The device’s performance will vary depending on specific factors like:
- Security features in use: Deep packet inspection, malware protection, and web filtering can impact throughput.
- Network activity: Higher data loads or streaming can impact performance.
- Concurrent sessions: The device supports up to 1.3 million concurrent connections, which helps handle multiple active users, but heavy usage or high-throughput applications may lower the optimal user count.
