The new Sophos XG UTM

[kearton]

I'm told that the new Sophos XG is not (yet) suitable for use in an educational environment, and the SG is still the best option.

Can anyone enlighten me on why? (or why not?)

Thanks

Is anyone else considering an XG ??

Probably because it's such a new product and even Sophos engineers haven't done training on the product yet?

Just tried it on my home lab and the first impressions were not good, it has a default IP address of 172.16.16.16 so requires so faffing to get it working if your on a different range and it needs the internet to complete the install as it wants to register.

The interface is a maze of menus unlike the SG series which I find to be very easy to navigate. The menus could also be laid out better, it looks like nice and clean but its not (I know what I mean )

 

The product is a combination of the Sophos product and their Cyberoam product. I've been having lots of problems with the Sophos SG unit on my home lab so hopefully this will fix those issues.

 

Its definitely not ready for education so don't waste your time.

So is XG the retail name of Copernicus or is Copernicus something different again?
