Is the XStream / Zero-Day feature worth it in your personal opinion?

Hi everyone,

I am administrating about 15 Sophos UTMs still managed through SUM and we are thinking about to use the XGS for future renewals at our customers.

That said, do you think the XStream option is needed / a must have or it the standard protection good enough in your personal opinion?

Best regards, Johnny

Hello JohnnyInc ,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, it certainly comes with benefits - Please refer the difference in DATASHEET.

With increasing cyber-attacks & new vulnerabilities, I prefer Zero-Day Threat Protection.

Thanks & Regards,

Vivek,

I think they are looking for more opinion than a data sheet, lol. What do you personally think about it? What have you seen that would benefit and/or hinder?

JohnnyInc,

I would probably also go and look at the XG forum and ask there as well (if you haven't already), because they would have more insight than those of us who are holding out still for our own reasons why we aren't using XG.

All you are going to get here is Sophos Staff swooping in to tell you to go to XG.

You could look into Intelix to see, how Zero-Day is working: It will give you the same kind of reports / features for the file scanning.

https://intelix.sophos.com/

Try it for free and check for files. It will do static and dynamic, like Zero-Day Protection will do.

BTW: Central Orchestration - would be to integrate the firewalls into Central to connect the firewalls.
