Moving from XG to UTM?

Sophos would view this as a downgrade, thus why you don't see any official documentation of that.  Why are you wanting to switch back to UTM?

Reason for downgrade.  ...

- Let's face it.  XG v17 MR1 is a BETA software under construction.  It lacks essential features you find on $200 appliances.  For example, you cannot port forward, I mean, at least properly.  For example, a rule of type "this zone & subnet, to this zone & subnet, with these services, action: port forward to this IP adress" is not possible.  I.e.  Source: LAN, network 192.168.1.0/24, service HTTP & HTTPS,     Destination: WAN, network the Internet, service HTTP & HTTPS,  Action:  Port Forward to IP "Sophos WEB Gateway:8080".  So if your ISP provides you a single IP address, and not a bank of 8, your floating onto bowling waters.  You will not be able to run your Exchange server for example.

- XG reliabilty is just not there yet.  VPN problems are impossible to workaround as of now.

- XG cannot integrate to other Sophos products.

.   It does not integrate with Sophos WEB appliance. Transparent proxy is not possible.

.   It does not integrate with Sophos End Point protection.

.   Heck !!! it integrates with nothing.

XG is an appliance meant to work alone.

That's all good info.  I have been toying with making the move from UTM to XG at home...might still wait a bit.  Every release I keep thinking surely it's good enough by now.  Maybe not.

I played with XG for a few hours before settling on UTM.  Maybe it's the terminology or ui, I'm not sure.  I had a really difficult time making sense of it.  UTM, while still having a learning curve made a whole lot more sense.
