Firewall throughput, concurrent session capacity, and licensing tiers are all sized against user and device count. Undersizing leads to performance bottlenecks; oversizing means unnecessary spend.

A firewall must be able to handle your total aggregated WAN throughput, especially with deep packet inspection (DPI) enabled, which can reduce rated speeds significantly. Multiple links also raise questions about failover, load balancing, and routing policy.

Understanding your existing setup helps identify feature gaps, migration complexity, and whether your current vendor's end-of-life timeline is driving this evaluation. It also informs trade-in or upgrade eligibility.

A single-site firewall and a distributed network are very different use cases. Branch connectivity, ZTNA for remote users, and cloud firewall requirements (SASE/SSE) may be needed, or may rule out certain vendors entirely.

Whether it's repeated breaches, a failed audit, poor visibility, performance issues, or compliance gaps, the root cause determines which features matter most. A customer struggling with ransomware needs different priorities than one failing a PCI-DSS audit.

Certain regulations mandate specific controls, encrypted traffic inspection, log retention, network segmentation, or audit trails. Some firewall platforms have pre-built compliance reporting; others require additional configuration or third-party tools.

Deployment model affects total cost of ownership, scalability, and management overhead. On-premises hardware suits data-sovereign environments; virtual or cloud-delivered firewalls suit hybrid or multi-site deployments.

Budget directly determines which models and feature bundles are shortlistable. Being transparent about budget avoids wasted evaluation cycles and allows us to recommend the best value-for-money solution within your range, rather than the most feature-rich one.

Tight timelines may rule out complex migrations. Organisations without dedicated IT staff may benefit more from a vendor with strong centralised cloud management (e.g. Sophos Central) or a fully managed SOC/MDR service rather than a feature-rich but operationally demanding platform.
