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 All,

    the webinar was very interesting. With the next release XG can be the replacement for many small UTM installation. To be honest I am still trying it at home and I had some responses from other that are using it in production Environment. Everyone are saying the same thing: "troubleshooting is very very hard, how much bandwidth is it consuming in real time".

    Next XG version, I think, It will impress us.

    Strange that I shared the Roadmap on XG thread and the thread was deleted by a Moderator. I would like who was it, because I shared the Roadmap after the webinar and it is available to registered user, so everyone can catch the roadmap from the video and post it.

    Really strange!

    This is not correct.

    "1. V16 and v16.5 have nothing to do with cyberoam. "

    The SFOS platform is cyberroam The V16 and V16.5 do not change that, other than Sophos hopes at that point Cyberroam is ready to replace UTM. Sophos likes to call it "merging" the platforms but really its just porting UTM features to the cyberroam platform

    "1. V16 and v16.5 have nothing to do with cyberoam. " Agree with MW. It is Cyberoam as a base system, with added features and reworked UI. Bear in mind that it is, for the most part, the same dev team in India on XG as on Cyberoam.

    I was replying to my own conjecture from an earlier post as to why they are going with v 15, 16 and 16.5 instead of v1,2 and 2.5. What I implied in that post was that the version numbers are a continuation of cyberoam release numbers which is not correct. The release numbers for SFOS represent the year of the release of the XG software and have nothing to do with cyberoam.

    The other conclusions about how much of it is cyberoam and what is UTM is pretty clear to anyone that has tried SFOS. I don't think they are hiding that fact in the webcast and clearly say that the api is all cyberoam with certain imported features like WAF etc.

    In any case, the OP was talking about future of XG releases and not the origins so our back and forth is pointless.

    Hello Big_Buck,

    now are holidays, and I'm afraid nothing will happen until the end of September. Then it should be released v17.2, then v17.3 and end of year v17.5, or in Q1 2019?

    Who knows ...
