Anyway, I don't have any grandiose illusions that Sophos is going to change their direction based on my opinion. I'm just stating it for the record. My son and I are generally happy with UTM and impressed with the overall capability and reliability, but many of the features Sophos is developing aren't high up on our needs, whereas the things we would like are not getting done. That's why we are taking a look at pfsense. We would have done it sooner, but it's only recently that pfsense will run on hyper-v
Well, there's still Copernicus, the "replacement" for UTM coming up soon. We'll have to see how that goes. Nobody freak-out that I say replacement. UTM is not going away today or tomorrow and still has a few years left in it, but Copernicus will be the amalgam of UTM and Cyberoam with the intended purpose of replacing both by taking the best of each. Over time, more resources will be dedicated to Copernicus and less to each of its' ancestors. Hopefully this will make for a better product, as resources will no longer have to be shared between multiple products that serve the same purpose.

The internal tech preview is available to Sophos employees, mainly SE's and ProServices.
Been running it for a week now. It's a step towards greatness and will benefit highly from this community.
