Where is V18 at?

Hi,

this request for an update on progress is for those of us that do not have access top partners/resllers.

Would some-one in the know who is allowed to provide progress on v18 please add to this thread.

I am not after guesses or conjecture, but real timelines (give or take a month).

Ian

  • Same question for the last 6 months its now November and I was promised by my Rep it would happen on third quarter Sept or Oct.  Still nothing.  Sales people will tell you anything to purchase a product but they can never deliver, its always sorry we are working on it.

  • Hi Nino,

    I am not sure what you are referring to? V18 is currently in beta testing at EAP2 release with EAP3 scheduled for December.

  • Hi, yes the EAP is out but it was supposed to be out already in third quarter not 3th quarter.  I was promised by my rep that there would be a lot of new reporting available, im not installing an EAP V.  To me the Firewall is useless, no reports, no queries, logging is terrible, reports are really bad, cant monitor VPN, cant monitor WAN ports.  The traffic reports it has are so bad no one can figure out whats what.  I compare my WAN traffic between my ISP, my on prem monitoring tool and what the firewall says, but nothing is happening.  You cant drill down and figure out issues, everything is static.  Sorry for the rant but i was waiting for 3 years now and promised things would change but nothing is changing.  Just tired of excuses, need to see some change here hope that 18 is much different if not im not going to be happy.  Payed a lot of money for HA and support and getting nothing in return.  Again im not ranting at you just the situation.

  • I think you should be upset with the rep who is promising you things he should never promise.  Reps should never promise a timeline because they have ZERO control over a timeline.  Reps should never promise features - even a week before the v18 EAP no one in the general public knew the feature list.

    There are several threads with people complaining about reporting, including in the v18 EAP forum.

  • Yes i was one of those that complaining about the reports, i had submitted a feature request, also added my like to someone else who had one from 2014 i think, i was told it was coming in 2017 but that came and went.  And then 2018 and now 2019, i hope that 18 has some better reporting or im going to loose it.  To me the firewall is useless if it does not have reporting features.  I used to have Sonicwall and the reporting was great they they were purchased by Quest and support went south.  So we switched and fell for the sales pitch that this was going to do everything and then some.  I do not like sales people they promise the world and give you nothing.  Thank you for your input sorry to rant.
