    Forgot to put a follow up/bump here, on the road to XGv18 in two years.

    Hello

    I have stopped using Sophos Mail Gateway , I also stopped using XG mail gateway, and turned back to Symantec Mail Gateway (Brigthmail).

    1. Took Sophos too long to upgrade to SMBv2.
    2. Far more easier to use.  By that, I also mean far more intuitive.
    3. Complete reporting.  And all features required for a mail appliance running for a Bank !!!
    4. Around $CAN 15 per user for the appliance "Only" licence.  Cheaper if you combine with EndPoint Protection.
    5. For some incomprehensible reasons, "Symantec Enterprise" license do not exist anymore.
    6. I also tested Spam Titan, but in 2018, it had too much false alarms.  It was rock solid before ...

    My renewal with Sophos is in few months.  At this moment, I intend to swap back endpoint protections to Symantec.  Sophos SEC installation is way too complicated.  Ports here, ports there, password here, password there, users here, users there, folder permissions here, folder permissions there.  It never ends.  And unexisting uninstall.  Yes, Uninstall is manual.  And maintenance requires way too much interventions.  For XG, I am not fixed yet. But if things progress this year as slow as it was last year, I will migrate to a more common and streamline product as well.  XG as it is, is too unintuitive and requires way too much care.

    Man, With all the people thinking about leaving XG, I wonder if Sophos is actually selling more than people leaving.

    Not really - the XG is getting to be a great product. Sure it has shortcomings but in general it does what we want.

    Not a fan of XG for Mail Scanning or controlling my WiFi but web policies, Firewall, Authentications, VPNs etc its quite stable (now)

     

    In the late v16s firmware I was ready to chuck it out and get something that worked. I have since bought an XG450....

     

    Sophos XG 450 (SFOS 18.5.1 MR-1)

    Sophos R.E.D 50 x 2

    Always configuring new stuff.....

    I agree it is getting to be a great product, but even today it is still missing some fundamental pieces to make it equal to the UTM.

    Just today I was putting together a quote, and couldn't use the XG because it is missing a proper DHCP, DNS & NTP server, a to name a few modules which are in dire need of updating.

    The following informations about upcoming releases have reached me via Newsletter.

    Last week we released MR1 for XG Firewall, which contains a couple of important fixes for the Early Access Program (EAP) for Central Management of XG Firewall.

    The next MR to be released to all customers will come on February 10 with much anticipated support for our new APX Wireless Access Points and Airgap Support. Expect more news and information on that as we get closer to launch day. This maintenance release will be called MR3.

    Then we expect another Maintenance Release in early March (MR4), with additional features like Encrypted Backups and Backup Management from Sophos Central.

    In Summary:

    • MR1 – Central Management EAP Fixes – Available Now
    • MR3 – APX and Airgap Support – February 10
    • MR4 – Backup Features - March

    If you have any questions about the updates, please contact your Sophos representative for more information.

    Please send me Spam gueselkuebel@sg-utm.also-solutions.ch
