What does XG do better than the UTM?

Hi folks,

time to start a debate on XG (15 mr3) v UTM (9.404).

I have an XG, currently in hibernation because it has too many bugs which get worse with each update.

The UTM is harder to configure, but has more has more fine tuning ability. Has better debugging facilities, better logs.

The XG has some strange logic LAN to WAN to block IPS when logic says WAN to LAN.

XG has easier policy setting up than the UTM to get web proxy working, but doesn't have as many options as the UTM. Still need a MASQ rule for the web proxy.

Mail scanning well in my opinion that is just a disaster, so many spam messages, each attachment is reported as spam. No blocking of POP3/IMAP (S) messages.

Country blocking on the XG will work one day. No relay.

Policies not used, but no error messages.

Strange menus.

Your thoughts.

Hi,

I'm a UTM 9 user, and love the product and interface and all the features. I'm very hesitant of moving to the new XG, as from what I've read and tried, is just too buggy/problematic.

There is only one feature from XG that has my attention is the Security Heartbeat. If this feature could be implemented into UTM 9 that would be awesome. This evening I found a feature request for it. http://feature.astaro.com/forums/17359-utm-formerly-asg-feature-requests/suggestions/11500440-security-heartbeat-for-utm-9-x

I wonder if we can get enough votes for this.

I use UTM 9 in my business, and I have clients that use it also and ask me about that feature. I'm just saying I would like to see the security heart beat feature added to the UTM 9 software.
