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.

    XG appears to be essentially a redesigned interface of the Cyberoam UTM. I was using Cyberoam till this was released and the style of management is almost identical (minus gui). Even the guides for this still refer to Cyberoam and alerts are identical. To me it's almost worth looking at Cyberoam guides and forums, then just apply to the XG. So far the only major difference is the heartbeat feature as the ability to manage Sophos AP's was added to Cyberoam UTM's in their latest firmware.
