To be honest I like the v18 version but, of course, certain implementation need a better improvement. I posted this thread only for reporting and logging:
and I did not complete the list as it is already long.
For the rest of the features, where I have feedbacks from my customers, the list of things to implement and improve are:
- Logging and reporting as described in the above thread
- Merge network objects. The same subnet/IP list and so on is created multiple times now. Please leave the hosts as the only source/Destination and make sure it is usable in all sections. For example, DHCP, DNAT wizard and so on
- Merge DHCP and DNS entries. It is a mess to understand which computer name with which IP and so on.
- Delete objects like UTM. Inform where the object is used before the deletion is performed
- Perform backup and restore via CLI. In some few cases, the box does not start completely or the UI is down. Allows admins to perform backup/restore operations via console
- Improve the DNAT wizard. I already had some feedbacks from the presentation I did to few customers about the new DNAT wizard. From 8 of 10 people, said: Why they removed the nice Create Business Application Rule? It was so nice and straightforward compared to other vendors and compared to the raw Server DNAT wizard? So I would prefer and suggest to have the old BAR. For the DNAT wizard, Sophos you need to include:
- Destination IP should be a selectable object and not an ip
- Possibility to choose an IPS filter
- Possibility to decide if the rule is enabled/disabled
- Enable logging by defautl
- Have unencrypted backup option. It is a bad options, but some small customers they cannot remember even their own password. Ability to decide if the backup is encrypted or not.
- Change firmware version from console. If the box does not start for some reason but the console starts, possibility to choose (ok restart the box with this firmware version). This can be done now but the process is not straightforward
- Change KBs to Kb/s. QoS in the industry is based on Kb/s.
- Flow monitor Graph where we can show to customers they bandwidth consumption and block or shape application directly from there like UTM. When I showed this during POC, in the UTM era, customers where already impressed and prompt to buy it!
- Customize the control center: customers are different. Every customer wants to customize their dashboard. One of the top request is the current bandwidth utilization in the Control Center. The gadget is missing!
- UI resolution on big screen! Change the UI framework!
Hope other users can add their top features list.
As always, I am here to improve the product!
