Is there a point to the traditional UTM (Sonicwall) when everyone is working from home?

I need your best thoughts here. Right now we have a Sonicwall TZ600 that is up for renewal. In the covid era everyone is working from home.

So my question is: is there a point to renew this device? It seems to me we would be better served by using a manage endpoint protection (bitdefender?)

I know we could have both but then they just end up fighting each other.

We use M365 for email.

We would still maintain a firewall but maybe just a pfsense and then offload the protection to the endpoint.

I know it better to stop at the perimeter but we don’t really have perimeter anymore.

Thoughts?
