Save time on firewall reviews and migrations with Sophos Firewall Config Studio

Sophos Firewall Config Studio is a new and hugely popular free tool for you and all your Sophos Firewall customers to view, edit, compare, analyze, and migrate firewall configurations. It’s very easy to use and incredibly powerful and can save you a lot of time if you’re managing multiple firewalls or migrating firewalls.

What originally started as a config viewer has quickly evolved into a powerful browser-based “studio” that makes it significantly easier to review, analyse, and work with firewall configurations—without the complexity of raw XML or live system changes.

Config Studio is designed to save you time and effort across a wide range of common tasks. You can instantly convert firewall configurations into clear, human‑readable reports, making reviews, audits, and documentation far more efficient. Comparison capabilities allow you to quickly identify differences between configurations—whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, validating a change, or tracking configuration changes over time. It also includes a visual configuration editor, enabling you to safely build, modify, and test configurations before deploying them.

One of the biggest advantages for partners is how Config Studio simplifies migrations. The tool supports importing configurations from Sophos UTM and leading third-party firewalls such as Fortinet, SonicWall, and Palo Alto. It provides clear visibility into what has been successfully migrated and what requires attention, helping you streamline the transition process while reducing risk and manual effort. This not only accelerates deployments, but also creates opportunities to deliver high-value migration services more efficiently.

Because Config Studio runs entirely in your browser and processes data locally, you can work with configurations securely and confidently—no data is uploaded or shared externally. It’s fast, flexible, and highly practical.
