Is Sophos UTM a dead product?

It appears that since Sophos bought out Astaro that nearly all development on the product has stopped. There are a number of feature requests with a bucket load  of support that Sophos just keep ignoring.  Some that I need are:

LetsEncrypt integration

Websocket Support

Certificate Authentication

Seriously I can't believe Sophos still sell the product if they don't keep adding features. Pretty much nothing has been added in the past 5 years. And the supposed replacement Sophos XG is nothing but a toy with even less features.

I know Sophos don't look at the forums or the ideas that are posted, this is clear. But I really needed a rant. UTM used to be a great product, but with no development in the past 5 years it is no longer even good.

If anyone knows of a product that does do the 3 things listed above I would be keen to hear about it.

Cheers

  • We are a relatively new Sophos deployment and I agree that the pace of new features is glacially slow and that the existing features are not always fully baked. I was happy to see the features released with the 9.5 firmware, but it came with so many bugs that took quite a while to fully resolve.

    If socket support is not released with the 9.6 firmware, we will definitely have to look for some other solution to publish our sites. We need that functionality and can't wait another year.
