Who bills me?+
Nuformat bills you monthly as your managed service provider through Sophos MSP Flex.
Why choose monthly over a term?+
Monthly suits businesses that prefer operating expenditure to a capital purchase, or that expect to change model within a couple of years. A term costs less per year and fixes the price.
What does Xstream add over Standard?+
TLS 1.3 inspection, cloud sandboxing and the advanced IPS. Since almost all web traffic is encrypted, Standard leaves most of it uninspected.
Can I get the appliance monthly too?+
Yes. Hardware as a Service bundles appliance and subscription into one monthly payment with nothing upfront. The MSP owns the hardware and payments are perpetual.
