    Hello

    I've upgraded from 8 to 8.10 and have noticed a massive hit to performance at the endpoints.

    The performance hit happens when the new client is installed.

    I thought it might be the new mini filter, so I've tried disabling as per this article: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/132398 but it didn't help.

    I will try reverting a few endpoints back to see if that helps.

    Has anyone else seen this issue? Or have any ideas please?

    Thanks

    Hello again

    Just to put some real life timings on this issue. I've timed opening a program with different SGN client states:

    • SGN Client 8.10 - 3.20 minutes to open program.
    • SGN Client 8.10 with mini filter disabled - 14 seconds to open program.
    • No SGN client - 11 seconds to open program.
    • SGN client 8 - 12 seconds to open program.

    So you can see SGN client 8 had little impact compared to no client. But SGN client 8.10 has crippled all applications our network.

    So, it does look to be an issue with the new mini filter.

    Thanks

    Hi Simon,

    so far I haven´t noticed a performance drop with the new filter, compared to SGN 8.0.

    Are you referring to a specific program? Did you perhaps have an excluded paths set using the IgnorePaths reg keys in 8.0.

    This has changed in 8.1 to a different location and keyname according to: community.sophos.com/.../132447

    Cheers

    F.

    Hello F.

    Thanks for your response.

    No, not a specific program as such. Everything appears to be painfully slow, even opening Windows Explorer is very slow.

    We never had a need to use the excluded paths reg mods in the past, and as everything appears to be slow now I can't see that adding them will help.

    I've been in touch with support and have collected logs, so I'll wait for their response.

    Thank you.

    Simon
