XG Roadmap - Still too early?

lferrara

Hi All,


2016 is almost there! I think that all of us would like to have some feedback from Sophos about what we will see from 1.5 XG release (January ?) and 2.0 in the middle of this year.

Even a simple shortlist of major features that will be released and specially bug fixes. We have feature.astaro.com website but "Planned" does not means next release.

[A]

Thanks.

Luk

    Hi lferrara,

    according to my information, some one decided that version v1.5 will NOT be released. And v2.0 release is planned for mid Q2.

    Unfortunately, about a planned features in v2.0 nothing new.

    Thank you Alda.
    We need to get some official public information. No way to sell XG at the moment. My hope was to sell and test XG after 1.5 (bug fixes and some new features) on some "friend" customer but the chance is very far away.
    I have some potential customer that can swap to Sophos but no multiple AD support at the moment (only XG but other features are missing).
    So we need to wait and be patient for still long time!

    Hi lferrara,

    I suppose you are working in some company as a Sophos partner / reseller / distributor. I can only recommend you to contact a pre-sales department, but based on my past experience with XG development, they do not know absolutely nothing concrete. And if you learn something specific, then be sure of that in less than a month, everything is different (my very last experience with v1.5).

    Maybe ask Mr. Alan Toews about a short comment? He is (to me), probably the only one person who will know about the current status v2.0 and future development of new features. I ( maybe we ) could only with tears in our eyes to remember how Angelo led the UTM v9.x development.

    If I compare the level of development UTM v9.x vers. XG, then I can not find any single positive thing ....

    Hi guys, how far off are we from this roadmap from earlier this year. I can see we are already behind on UTM9.4 and also copernicus initial release seemed like it ran a little behind. In this roadmap, v2 copernicus comes almost 3 months after so hopefully it will be February/March 2016. I know Luk had mentioned a release date of end of January for v1.5, lets hope there is a 1.5 release before v2.

    With all the devs from india that sophos acquired with cyberoam purchase, I hope they will follow a very aggressive update schedule but I could be wrong. Waiting on what you guys find out...

    Hello BillyBob,

    your picture is from Q1 roadmap, I think. Let's say that in the last roadmap ( October - November 2015 ) everything is compared to your picture shifted by one quarter later. Was decided that XG v1.5 is because sufficient time for the development of v2.0 canceled.

    I'm sorry, but I can not be more specific. The last roadmap is under NDA, as always.

    Unfortunately, my own experience with the developers of India ( during Copernicus Partner Beta ) does not fulfill me as to the quality of the development of great optimism.
