Sophos firewall manager cannot template latest sfos releases

Hello ClerpremSpa,

because some Sophos PM decided that v18 management would be possible ONLY  in the Central Firewall Manager - in the cloud.
Very stupid decision ....

Hi ClerpremSpa,

Will you please share the snapshot for the issue or error which you are observing? 

Also please share the SFM model and firmware version.

SFM v15 v17.1.2 MR2

Yes I was afraid by this. Perhaps 'm paranoid, but I like that my security perimeter stays on-premises

Hello ClerpremSpa,

I understand what you want and I fully agree with you. If you want to manage a single standalone XG Firewall v18 it's not a problem, through the classic WebAdmin interface, why not.
However, if you are faced with the problem of managing multiple installations for individual customers or groups of customer installations, then the ability to manage only through cloud solutions and Central Firewall Manager it is a nightmare.
Sophos Central (as a management console) is not a security-certified security solution. I don't think anybody in Sophos even dealt with this problem.
They just decided ....
