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.

    I am a fan of UTM 9.x. I still think it has the best interface of the UTM I know (Cyberoam, Fortinet, SonicWALL, WatchGuard).

    The move to the XG software is not bad because it has a faster and simpler GUI, but it also has many shortcomings. It has less features, the interface is less user friendly and the object simplicity of UTM 9.x was lost.

    Having many ISP links and not being able to identify them by a custom name is stupid at this point in time. Why I need to remember what I have connected at PortA?

    The object management on Sophos was quite powerfull and simple.

    I really hope the software evolves to something usable but for now it doesn't replace or improves the trusty UTM 9.3
