In an enterprise, where there is a threshold of many new users with whom there is a need to share the internet, Comodo Firewall can really ease the burden. Security of network and infrastructure increases with less cost compared to other alternatives. Allows advanced users to create advanced scenarios and deal with them.

Sophos
This is the best product for small-size organizations with a low budget that want advanced and deep-level security features. Sandboxing and advanced malware protection are the most valuable features available on Sophos devices. Other features like applications and web content make your organization more secure, and you can put more restrictions on users.

  • If using Endpoint security and the Firewall it would be nice to have an easier back and forth between the portals rather than have two separate tabs open. Especially if using more than one in multiple locations.
  • If dealing with different revisions options are moved around and sometimes in places that doesn't normally seem like they should be there.

Honestly we didn't get the premium support from them, but our partner has been supportive. Online forums are also a good place to learn things from.

Although AWS WAF is really nice and convenient, it only runs on a web application level, no doubt it has no match in that particular segment, and it is prone to vendor locking. Comodo on the other hand provides better service on the system and network level. if you have to choose a better UI, Comodo is the best solution

We have been a Sophos customer for the most part but i have seen some other offerings from SonicWall, Barracuda, and Cisco. While they all offer nice products, we've always been content with our Sophos XG firewalls, especially as they release more and more features/etc.
