  1. Add 5GHz Senders in all wiFi Devices

    I think it's all wireless access points needs 5GHz connectivity.
    All professional wireless devices (Notebooks, mobiles ore whatever) are able to connect via 2,4 and 5GHz.
    5GHz technology is more stable as 2,4 GHz.

    • Less noise UTM 220

      The UTM 220 fans are very loud and some customers are not happy about it.
      Please enable fan management in the software for these appliances.
      Maybe in a next revision change the fans and use quiet ons.

      • RED: High Availability Unit Support

        Option for usinig two REDs in active/passiv config. If one RED fails the other will be online.

        Case:
        Customer has two Internet Connections, and wants to have two REDs. (It is a must cause of possible HW failure). There should be an automatic switch from one RED to the other and back. (both RED are connected internally to the same switch)

          • Raid Monitoring: Add MegaCLI Tool for Dell PERC / LSI MegaRAID

            Please add the MegaCLI Tool to control Dell PERC / LSI MegaRAID Controller thru the MegaCLI Tool provided by LSI. It works great for a lot of controllers (PERC based on MegaRAID). While this CLI Tool requires very much no dependencies but a working driver (already given by 8.3!) it should be no problem to integrate it into one of the next updates. Please!!

              • Hardware: Integrated Power Supply in the 110/120

                I wonder if people agree with my preference to have no external power supply adapter in the 110/120 appliances. It would make my physical setup easier and cleaner.

                • Appliances: Tighter power connector for UTM 1xx-series

                  The current power connector is not reliable since it easily can fall out.
                  I would prefer to have a connector with a lock, like the TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK. Other firewall brands, like Fortinet for example, uses that type of contacts.

                  • Sophos 24/48 port switch (with poe options)

                    Please think about making a 24/48 port witch that has some integration into the utm box (Similar to the ap30) that would give me stats on my network and allow me to troubleshoot admin from one login.

                    • ASG Hardware: Rear USB Ports

                      Hi,
                      with ASG220 rev4 the USB ports on the backside of the ASG got lost.

                      This is not very useful, because know I have to put UPS and KVM cable to the front.

                      Please have 2 USB Ports on the backside again.

                        USB 3.0 LAN adapters are fast 1000 Mb/s and it would be nice if the drivers was added to the kernel.

                        • Reset a device to factory settings using a paper clip

                          When a Sophos UTM device is rendered inoperable due to a software or configuration problem, provide a means to reset the device to factory settings by using a paperclip to press a reset button. Like a Airport express device or many other electronic devices, it should not be possible to press the reset button accidentally.

                          When the reset button is depressed, beep several times, format the internal hard disk, install the software from an internal flash drive, or hidden recovery partition and when done, beep several times to notify the user its done.

                          • safesearch

                            Advanced partner would like a feature request for the Sophos Web Appliances, which was in direct result to a conversation with an existing customer within the education sector.

                            Currently, the SafeSearch feature is a global option, allowing you to turn it on or off for all users.

                            Could we please:

                            * Give the Administrators the option to turn this on or off per policy (Using Additional Policy Controls)

                            Or

                            * Give the Administrators the option to remove certain sites from this safe search. IE, exclude YouTube but allow all other sites to be used with the SafeSearch facility turned on.
