Native AWS VPC VPN Support
The UTM supports auto-setup of site-to-site VPNs with AWS using the AWS provided config files, but XG does not. Dynamic routing is a requirement if you wish to terminate multiple AWS VPNs from the same AWS Zone. This is currently not possible, not just automatically using the AWS config file, but even manually because the XG will not let you assign a link local (APIPA 169.254/16) address to any interface, which Amazon requires for BGP.

Clientless Users Surfing Quota (Recurring )
We have a Requirement for having a Surfing Quota option for Clientless users . This would block all Web traffic instead of Logging out the user from Live connections .Since its Clientless but with benefits of an Client based users.

Anti-malware between zones for all protocols
XG is able to filter malware only if FTP/HTTP/HTTPS protocols are used. Engines are there but cannot be used to scan traffic between zones if the protocols are not FTP/HTTP/HTTPS.
Please allow Admins to enable malware scan on different protocols (for example scanning CIFS/SMB).

OpenVPN like SSL APP for Android / IOS
SSL Client APP for Android / IOS
Sophos should develop its own APP for mobile devices instead of using openvpn app, which is currently causing connectivity problems with Sophos XG SSL VPN. Competitors like Fortinet, SonicWall etc have their own app.

IPSEC and SSLVPN site-to-site auto fallback to primary link
VPN tunnel (both SSL and IPSEC) does not revert to its primary WAN interface, manual disable and reenable the Failover group/SSLVPN Client status for the tunnel to be established via Primary WAN interface.

User bookmarks in clientless portal
it would be great to allow user to add their own bookmarks or to allow group bookmark AND user bookmarks on admin interface for a given user.
at the moment, you can only give access to a group bookmark.since SMB bookmark seems to need authentification (at least i was not able to make them work without automatic login), each user needs a different group of bookmarks!
it's a mess and a considerable amount of work.13 votes -
Implement support for dynamic/public IP/URL blacklist feeds
Alienvault has OTX (Open Threat eXchange) and there's https://intel.criticalstack.com/.
There's also a very big player, Palo Alto Networks that provides Minemeld (see links at bottom of this post).They all provide public feeds of known hostile IP addresses/ranges and URL's*.
I would really like to be able to make use of such feeds so I can create specific rules on my firewall to block all incoming traffic from these sources and possibly outgoing URL requests to known C2 servers.
If this blocked traffic (the outgoing attempts) is logged in a specific log, it would have the additional benefit of…

Add packet tracer feature
A feature like Cisco's ASA Packet Trace utility will be very nice. I like the XG firewalls but I really miss the Packet Tracer. Here's a little bit about it:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/29601/troubleshooting-access-problems-using-packet-tracer
I like it because you don't need to setup test hosts - the test packet virtually injected from the appliance itself.
10 votesA full policy test utility, which will fully simulate the results of a a request, is planned for v17

Implement avahi to make life with Apple devices a lot easier
When you have a network will apple products you will soon relise that unless they are on the same subnet they will refuse to see each other, this is because bonjour just refuses to work over subnets.
avahi can solve this but don't really see the point in setting up a server running linux to do such a small task which should be added into Sophos itself.
I saw a feature request just like this for UTM 9 and the was no response from an admin, seeing as XG is a new platform I am hoping this feature might actually…

Firewall rule with content/application matching for custom QoS/Gateway configurations
Allow firewall rules to "match" by application, and thus permit custom routing/qos. E.g (Streaming out lower cost WAN1, VoIP out faster/more expensive WAN2)
This would be (layer7) application based (Not Subnet/Port based)

We are making improvements in this area with version 18.

Add OpenConnect AnyConnect Pulse SSL VPN server
This is an idea to add the actively developed and open source OpenConnect server package to the XG Firewall. https://gitlab.com/ocserv/ocserv
The OpenConnect server is compatible with CISCO's AnyConnect and Juniper PULSE (Secure) SSL clients. Thanks.

WAN without gateway
Earlier on SG, we used to have options to check if gateway is available on any interface but on XG it is compulsory to keep gateway on WAN which is quite annoying while having L2 links connecting its numbers of offices where I need IPsec VPN.
32 votesI may have misunderstood the intent here, but I believe it is to allow use of a gateway, even when that link is not an internet facing gateway – perhaps an MPLS circuit connected to the LAN, or DMZ, for instance. This is currently planned for the next version of XG.

Decryption Port Mirroring
The Decryption Port mirror feature provides the capability to create a copy of decrypted traffic from a firewall and send it to a traffic collection tool that is capable of receiving raw packet captures–such as NetWitness or Solera–for archiving and analysis. This feature is necessary for organizations that require comprehensive datacapture for forensic and historical purposes or data leak prevention (DLP) functionality.

Edit/Delete default IPS rules
XG comes with IPS built-in rules and cannot be customized or deleted. At least allow us to customize them in order to add/remove Signature.
I always like to keep the Appliance as clean and light possible and I would like to delete default IPS rules too.15 votes -
custom vpn config file
I think that VPN SSL Remote connection needs to have a custom imput filed where we can inser the Firewall FQDN or Pubblic IP that we want to have on the vpn config file that users can daownload from Web User portal.
If you have firewall behind a NAT or multiple WAN you colud choose the VPN SSL Wan interface o bypass NAT problems.8 votes -
Network Threat Reports - Links to Tools
It would be awesome if you could make the link for an Attacker's IP address take us to a place like CentralOps.net or even the built-in tools so we can reverse DNS the IP address to figure out if the threat is credible or not. Also awesome would be the ability to then block that attacker permanently by creating a firewall rule to reject traffic from that specific address with a simple button click.

WIFI - HOTSPOT - Email authentification with report
It's was a good idea to create just email authentification in Hotspot and to have report with all mail. Free Wifi is good but a lot of Customer want to have a revenu with free wifi.

Two IPSec Peer on VPN Configuration
We have more customer with many branches and two or more Internet connection. We want to enable a Singla VPN SA that could be terminated on two differents Peer IPSec Gateway, so we can create a reliable VPN Connection that can use two different Internet connection, depend on what we can specify as first and second Remote Peer VPN.

Allow custom Application Filters as well as IPS Custom Signatures
IPS provides the ability to define custom signatures
