Fortinet Professional Services deliver personalized services with a time-tested migration framework and methodology to meet your unique needs.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I believe there used to be a configuration compatibility matrix but they pretty much push Forticonverter now. Honestly I find it very frustrating as a customer that Fortinet does not offer this tool for free and feel like I am just being nickled and dimed. You would think Fortinet would make it as easy as possible for a someone to move to Fortinet from another vendor and also upgrading to newer Fortinet hardware from older hardware.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You may choose Fortinet Professional Services instead. It provides customized consulting services for an end to end migration. By engaging the skills of Fortinet Professional Services, organizations can leverage the vast experience and knowledge of the Fortinet Professional Services teams.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You can also request specific optimizations and migration support for you specific needs. Among them are Solution design with design guides and best practice, Migration risk analyses, Appliance commissioning, and Policy migration.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>A few months ago I was doing a usability analysis of this tool. I was asked for this analysis and I also wanted to personally know if this confguration conversion tool is usable. If you have a complicated UTM9 configuration (as you wrote) I can assure you that the SG To XG Migration Tool is unusable.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have found four or five totally unacceptable bugs in this tool that in principle preclude the use of this tool for configuration conversion. Resp. after a migration of a configuration, such an extensive analysis of the migrated configuration is necessary that it is less time consuming to manually override the configuration than to migrate and then check the configuration. For example, some type of firewall rules are not migrated within the migration process and there is no record of it in the migration log! And nowhere in the release notes for this tool is absolutely no mention that this type of firewall rules are not migrated!</div><div></div><div></div><div>In my opinion, this tool (in the current version) is only suitable for the migration of objects in the configuration. Unfortunately, the naming convention in UTM v9 and XG is not identical, so the names of network objects or network services do not match after migration.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thank you for the info. I was able to convert 3 other firewalls with not much issue but this one is much more complicated then the rest. I trust you that the tool is not able to do a complete conversion. I guess I will just start from scratch that way I know it is done right. Thank you for the help.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Such backups are most likely not usable at all for migrations. I saw backups with 4000+ Objects on a SG210 or UTM220. Just because multiple people configured on this appliance in the past years and everybody simple create new objects etc...</div><div></div><div></div><div>I can understand how difficult it is is migrate from one software to another. What makes me upset is we dropped 20K on this software with the promise this tool would be available soon and it was an easy transition. Once we paid there was no tool to be found.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hello LuCar Toni, I disagree with your view that migrating a configuration from UTM v9 to XG is very complicated. Does Sophos have such bad programmers that they can't write a migration tool? Very probably yes.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I do not want a tool that would migrate email and web policies but a tool that can migrate firewall rules. Yes, such a tool I want because I don't want to rewrite every firewall rule as a slave. Yes, after migration I have to check every firewall rule, but I do not have to rewrite each rule as a slave.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Your note that UTM v9 is not a zone firewall and therefore is not possible to correctly migrate the firewall rules to XG which zone firewall. Did Sophos think, how elegantly to solve this problem? I know nobody, because this problem can be elegantly solved at the beginning of the migration with a very simple translation table, for example</div><div></div><div></div><div>Try to justify before a customer that they have to rewrite, for example, 500-600 firewall rules because Sophos does not have a migration tool.</div><div></div><div>And do you know what he will answer?!? So, would not be better switch to another firewall manufacturer because I still have to manually override the configuration? And from another firewall vendor I will get a new firewall with a very significant discount as a competitive upgrade.</div><div></div><div></div><div>It is a shame that Sophos does not even have a tool to migrate their internal products. Other vendors provide customers migration tools from one brand to another and this is more attractive than marketing.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I can assure you that you won't like it. There is something like FortiConverter and this migration tool can migrate more features than your own migration tool! For example, it can migrate users and user groups.</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
