UTM to XG views?

Louis-M

I know this has probably been done to death on this forum but this morning, I decided to have another look at XG (v16)

The jury is still out for me. I know with all new OS's, that you can struggle to find your way around until you become used to them.

At this time, I'm not quite warming to XG but maybe that is me. I prefer the UTM obviously because I'm used to it.

So, from the experienced users who have switched over from UTM or maybe switched back to UTM, what are your thoughts?

    Hello Louis

    Hope you are well. I suggest to stay on UTM at the moment as there are no migration tools from UTM to XG at the moment. I suggest when the migration tools become available, you can start thinking of the migration.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Regards,

    Varun

    There is absolutely no way I can change anyway. In production, I have 2x SG310 clusters which are fairly complex (wish I'd got 430's now)

    This is purely as a test system as I want to get ahead of it if we do change. I'm going to give it a go this week. Mulling around it, there's things I do like but there's also things I don't like due to being biased towards the UTM interface I'm used to.

    Maybe next week or thereafter, I'll be warming to it. I'm going to give it an honest go as it's not fair to the developers by just crossing your arms and saying no....

    I second that Louis. The only point I was trying to make here is that since the configuration migration tools are not yet available it would make no sense to migrate. 

    Please give it a go on your test system and share the results. I also suggest you test Heartbeat feature.

    Louis,

    Before moving to XG make sure to test it first.

    There some features that XG is still missing and some bugs that still exist.

    The migration tool can be useful to prevent from starting from scratch but I would suggest you to test (always test a new system).

    I moved some UTM installations to XG and the response is good for easy configurations.

    I tested IPSec, red, access points,stas and web filtering on 100 users and it is going good (apart logging which is still difficult and not complete yet on XG).
