First impression and feedback

Hi All,

I migrated my home box from MR7 to v17 and all good.

In my case, the IPS did not start automatically after the reboot.

The other thing is the UI is faster than v16 but the Network menu is very slow compared to the others. I have only 2 NICs and 2 VLAN.

Last thing, where is the policy test?

  • I'm new to Sophos as this is my first "beta" since I began with an XG running 16.5 code. 

    That being said, having loaded the v17 beta on my home box, I have to concur with the sentiment of the community which is that it seems every problem or wish item was answered with "wait for v17" and now that its here, it seems a little underwhelming.  I hesitate and hate to say that because I do not want to discount or degrade the amount of hard work the team has done.  But it is equally true that we are still missing features that have been voted as important that are nowhere to be found.  Even something as promised and needed as the new and improved log viewer are now removed (yes I know why and I know it will make its debut soon).

    I still think its going to be a good release, but I was hoping for/expecting to see more in the way of some long asked for/popularly requested features.  Some are there, for sure (IKEv2), some are coming soon, but many are just still not there.
