we use it in our school district (had symantec before) that shit locks down viruses tight. though make sure you kept all your logs from symantec so the sophos guys can look at them and tailor your software to work best. and they are very helpful when it comes to finding new problems and patching them out.
bottom line, our average tech virus tickets went from 7-10 a week, to less than 1 a week.
They put it on our machines at work. It's a memory hog. I was disabling that shit just so I could actually get some work done
Just don't run a chkdsk /b if you have Sophos Safe Guard Encryption on the machine, too
Bloops.
How much memory? Are we talking hundreds of megs?

depends on what it's doing I guess
it's currently idle at 143M, according to the task manager
It gave me significant troubles when I only had 2GB ram, partly because I need to have a LOT of other things open at once. I finally managed to get an upgrade to 3GB (still on XP at work..), and it's a lot better.
i would be surprised if he could tell you. configuration options window is locked down via password (assuming he isn't an admin).
hell in my district it's configured so the only thing an end user can do is run an active scan out of cycle.

true it does use a good amount of memory. but 4gig ram or more and a standard user should have no problems. 8 for techs, and 16 for programmers/artists.
i should have prefaced my initial reply with this though. you need to make sure your computers can run sophos without bastardizing the clients work capability.
edit: we also moved to windows 7 environment so i can't say if the memory could be less in xp or not.
