Sophos Sandstorm disabled for Home UTM 9.4 users

I wish to enable Sophos Sandstorm after upgrading to UTM 9.4 but found that Sandstorm is not licensed for home users, nor is there any way to add it to the license.

Does anyone know when Sophos plans to enable this for home UTM users? I was perplexed because I figured home users would greatly contribute to Sandstorm. I'm super disappointed because I've been waiting a long time for this :c

Hi,

that question has been asked a number of times with the same argument. There are no plans to give home users access to sandstorm.

I can confirm no sandstorm for home users. Still considering they are giving away the rest for free I expected sometime in the future they would start doing greater differentiation between home and paid licenses.

Sophos is not giving home users the option of even paying for Sandstorm. I think not offering Sandstorm is a mistake because modern malware is successfully evading AV engines much of the time. I do a lot of threat research and understand that features like Sandstorm are very necessary anymore.

sophos has never given home users the ability to upgrade by paying. I have a sophos utm at the edge(I ran it as a home user for a long time..as a partner i now have a partner license). here's a recent post that talks about my basics of not getting infected..:)
