Future of v17 and v18

tom greene over 7 years ago

Hey AlanT,

Hope you can update us on the future of v17 and future of v18?

Since v17 is released i'm sure alot of new improvements are in the pipeline.

There is currently no news on the release of Sophos XG 17.5.3.

Last info from Sophos was 10th February 2019.

Maybe someone at Sophos could give some news on it.

Hey Ian,

MR-3 hasn't been released yet, I've reached out to our product team to request for another update.

Thanks for everyone's patience regarding this highly anticipated release.

Regards,

Also, as a reminder:

MR1 – Was for Central Management EAP Fixes.

MR3 – APX and Airgap Support – February 10. Well it's delayed for now.

MR4 – Backup Features. Encrypted Backups and Backup Management from Sophos Central - March That is two weeks from now. That was no priority.

My list, which is pretty basic requirements :

Logs are still helpless.

Would be nice we had something that compares to Checkpoint ...

Some shy improvements in v17.5.

The best would be a direct link with WireShark while logs becomes acceptable in a future version.

STAS needs a complete remelting.

Why not having A SINGLE CLIENT FOR ALL SOPHOS PRODUCTS AND APPLIANCES ?

Instead of going tru all those ports, registry keys, et.c. non-sense setups ?

XG as an NTP is a basic requirement. Should have been done long ago.

Full features DHCP.

At least we could point desktops to 2 or 3 trustable NTPs.

Pooled NTP web sites is such a non sens to me.

2017 and 2018 were dedicated to bug fixes and stability almost exclusively. Seems to me the real improvement this year was the MTA.

None of this is on Sophos' radar.

I know I did say I liked excitement, but not that much. The upgrade caused my machine to go off line and not complete the upgrade. Required a restart and long time over 5 minutes to finish.

But it did finish in the end?

Mmh... I better not test and wait for additional feedback from others who have test appliances.

Hi,

yes, it did finish and is back online. Also the wifi upgraded. I cannot see any additional tabs in the wifi to go along with the added APX features. Possibly because I don't have an APX device.
