help WatchGuard XTM FAQ
What was WatchGuard XTM designed to protect?
WatchGuard XTM appliances were unified threat management firewalls for controlling network traffic, VPN access, web use, applications, and malware threats. The product family included models such as the XTM 2 Series, XTM 3 Series, XTM 5 Series, and XTM 850.
Is WatchGuard XTM still supported?
WatchGuard's current end-of-life policy lists the XTM 850 with end of sale on December 31, 2018 and end of life on December 31, 2023. An XTM appliance should therefore be treated as a legacy platform and replaced with a supported Firebox model.
What replaced WatchGuard XTM?
WatchGuard's Firebox product line is the modern successor family for many XTM deployments. A replacement choice depends on VPN users, internet throughput, security services, and whether the organization needs cloud management.
Did WatchGuard XTM support VPNs?
Yes, XTM appliances supported site-to-site and remote-access VPN features through Fireware XTM. The exact tunnel and client limits varied by model, so an XTM 2 Series appliance did not provide the same capacity as an XTM 1500 Series unit.
