Sophos - Good meant Popups / Spam in SFOS

Valvaris Sigma

Hello Sophos-Team,

is there a way to permanently disable the Popup Spam while logging in to Firewalls of the XGS Series?

I know it is meant to highlight the features that are new and can help in many ways but after a while it just gets old fast.

- Here the new Search feature (After every login)

- Here the new Assistant (After every login)

If Firewall not joined to Sophos Central (Clients decision)

- Do not forget to add your XG to Sophos Central (After every login)

A option would be great to opt-out or is there a console switch to disable the pop-ups?!

The thing is after logging in the 20th Firewall for doing configs this stuff is just a hindrance and the Disable Button does not work. 

Many thanks in advance

Val.

    Why do you not want to join Central? Just wondering, as it has no ties to it. 

    Assistant will be disable in the future.

    I vote for an opt-out, too.

    this may happen if you delete your browser cookies after every session. I think these preferences (don't show this popup again) are stored in cookies.

    I've not seen my firewalls to show me all these popup windows. Only some after a new firmware release or after installation of a firmware.

    Hello

    I do not mean the Popup that "I do not want to join Central" ;)

    It is a Popup that is in the Appliance and if a XG Firewall is not joined in Sophos Central because a costumer does not want to. Then that popup is annoying to the costumer. 

     That is why a Opt-Out would be Awesome because to be honest - That is why PatchNotes exist and Sophos puts lots of work in to those. 

    Best regards

    Val.

    That is not great!

    Cookies are bad! - 

    Why because I work with allot of Cloud Oriented SaaS Services and have to work with multiple accounts. The other part since things are Web-Based Cookies can do more harm then good. But back on topic: 

    Still a Opt-Out for the Pop-Ups or Hints. 

    After Every login to a XGS Web Admin Interface with the SFOS19GA - I always have the RED-DOT at the Search Field... 

    I love the Search Feature but do not need the reminder it exists every time .. ^^

    Sincerely

    Val.

    Just curious: Could we get some more feedback, why they do not want to join the firewall to Central?

    Because some Costumers think that Cloud is a bad thing for some reason. "the costumer is always right..." <- Even if we highly recommend to have it in Central - For them the ZSL / VPN Access is sufficient also for some reason.

    We highly approve to have all XG / XGS Firewall in Sophos Central for easy Maintenance and Reporting.
