XG firewall, can't say I'm impressed

Sci-Tek

Attempted today to swith out the old UTM with XG firewall (home use). Been using this product since Astaro 4.7 (I think), and loved it since day one.

And I can't really say I'm impressed with XG firewall. The GUI is messy while im sure the touch fanboys will love it, personally I hate it. 

There don't seem to be a option to see live log. It could be that I didn't look good enough tho. 
Country blocking, couldn't get it to work. Don't know if it was even supposed to work. 
Specifying FW rules was horrible. I think I actually prefer Windows firewall rule adding to this. 

Reporting was powerfull and I can see thats a improved area.

Unfortunatley the XG firewall named Batman was decapitaed and nuked from orbit. Atleast I tried and wanted to like it.

    I've been kind of out of the loop concerning this whole Copernicus / XG firewall development of those past few months. Been using Astaro / UTM products since back when it was still called Astaro Security Linux back in the old version 3.2 days.

    I haven't yet had a chance to check this new product out, but what I've heard so far doesn't sound promising. One of our customers just did a hardware refresh of their UTM220 to a SG230 and renewed their Full Guard subscription for 3 years...really wondering what the state of Sophos UTM will even be in 3 years time...will there even still be support and updates for the UTM line or will they start pestering my clients about "upgrading" to the new shiny in 1,5 years?

    Like I said, haven't really looked into those new developments yet, but I'm skeptical this was the best way for Sophos to go...

    EDIT: Oh, and what the ever loving hell happened to astaro.org? This was THE go to site for anything concerning UTM support....I never even bothered contacting Sophos directly, astaro.org was just THAT good. Please Sophos, don't make me start looking for alternatives for your products, I've really been quite the loyal customer those past 14 years, don't fuck with the community.
