RE: Sophos Support recommended XG Firewall firmware version

XPERION

I upgraded from SFOS 15.01.0 MR-3 to SFOS 16.05.4-215 - and after that I struggled a week with a single computer that couldn't get access to a single server in another zone. All other computers from same source zone could. Nothing else had changed and it worked before the upgrade. So now I'm back on SFOS 15.01.0. Sorry to say, but I do really regret spending money on that product serie. XG is so immature. I might be on SFOS 15.01.0 MR-3 a few years - or buy another FW with high throughput which was the only reason compared to price why I thoose Sophos.

    Domain,

    there are cases and cases and this is sad that you had to revert back to another firmware. Regarding the maturity of the XG? The problem is that the Sales and Marketing are pushing a lot the product but once you get installed it, you realize that many features are missing. On the market there are better products and XG cannot compete at all with them (even with UTM9).

    This product works quite good for small installation (<100 users) and where the requirements are not high (bridge and VLAN is impossible).

    I am waiting for v17 to understand what Sophos thinks to do with this project because after 2 years (next august) the product should be mature enough to replace UTM9. Sophos is spendiong so much efforts in XG and loss of credibility (which does not have price).

    I am scared and disappointed with XG even if I know it a lot and I am here to help other people on their setup (when I have time).
