V17.0.2 MR2 HTTPS Outlook clients are dead, don't upgrade.

I posted this message in October in XGV17 Beta forums:

It will be interesting to see if the early adopters come back to XG after their licenses expire. It will be a shame to see them go as XG is a lot more capable today than it was two years ago.

I totally agree with you as i m one of the losers who bought XG appliance to our production environment since V.15 which i never knew how they called it NGFW!!!! and until now we will not renew our license to move over to other professional vendors that care for their customers as from my point of view SOPHOS are feeding on their customers money and using us as testing environment to enhance their XG while paying them to do that, it was a very poor developed product made me some times want to destroy it, during my entire 13 years career in IT field i never opened that many support cases with any vendor SW or HW like i did with SOPHOS.

They will always keep us waiting for next release that never ends for such an old features that already available in the market years ago from all vendors.

Since we bought this product and i always felt i joined a big open-source testing project that never ends and with each release it extend again and again.

over a year now and still cant view all traffic going in or out and cant disable or rename any interface!!! most devices in the market that cost 50-100$ can do that since 5-7 years ago.

AlanT start talking and giving us the carrot to wait for V18!!! another year while V17 is not yet released and after 17.0 is released their will be a lot of issues which will make us wait for V17.1 to be fixed and when V17.1 released including new problems different than was in V17.0 so we will wait for V17.2 and so on, same Carrot and we suppose all to follow.....that is the same behavior history (i wish to be wrong).

Sophos XG NGFW are paying for Marketing, visual designs and sales effort more than developing, testing and quality.

V.15 was a product i cant get help from partner or distributor as no one know it good or fix problems and not even all support team as some of them were not aware of that product, some were only users and the rest were a team for another product (Cyberoam) but they do their effort.

I m a customer paying for service which is a NGFW with latest features and quality, I'm not paying for testing and waiting..... for old technologies and bugs.

Now using V16.5.8 and not yet find a NGFW but only features that is helping and serving your other products.

You did not even make separate XG support team or even included support links in Sophos Website until now.

AlanT If you really believe that Sophos XG is a NGFW and a good product, please open the ability for your XG customers to install SG UTM on XG appliances and see what they will do, i dare you can give us XG appliance owners to choose again!!.

Soon V17 GA will be released and waiting to see, i still got 10 month in license to know the results of wasting time and money to reach a good NGFW or not.
