What is going on - 3 month without any update on the UTM

who needs updates or information on a security product? yes right.. 

our renewals are approaching in early 2020, XG is out of the question and if updates are getting this rare sophos will not get our money this time.

In the past the featureset of UTM is what we are interested in (mail mta, vpn/site2site), we allready implemented a new security product against attacks and security threats. Its really a pity that UTM is not getting the same care it used to have anymore and at the end of the day the question is if its still worth the costs of the subscription. 

Update finally released
