How long ago was it you used Sophos? They have matured greatly in the
past 5 years. I have one customer with thousands of users, about half
roaming users with laptops, and they have essentially zero issues.

I have one user that supports a few hundred users with a console server
running on a 10+ year old P3 box. And it gives great response.
