Future of SG

JoergRiether

Hi,

we wanted to get proposals for new UTMs today and were informed by a German channel partner in astonishment that SG "maybe" can no longer be bought and that it would be over from the end of 2022.

I cannot imagine this with the best will in the world. Firstly, there is still no functional parity with XG in my eyes and secondly, there is no cleanly developed automatic migration process. Purely subjectively, I estimate the SG users at about 85% and the XG at about 15% purely quantitatively.

In this respect, this would be a wrong signal in my eyes, also for economic reasons.

Could Sophos please say something about this? Because if the SG is actually completely discontinued and the two reasons mentioned above are still valid, then we have to look around for something else.

Thanks

Joerg

    Per their Lifecycle Policy, we wouldn't know EoL until 90 days before actual EoL for v9 (Sophos UTM & XG Firewall Lifecycle Policy)

    They are still maintaining 'No Declaration' for EoS/EoL for v9.

    So, it's not today.  Tomorrow doesn't look too good for an announcement either.  I wouldn't actually expect it until they get XG sorted out, even though they believe it to be the best thing since sliced bread, for a lot of us it's just soggy bread.
