      • Reporting: Extend Application Control reporting

        Would like to see more detailed reporting in the application control feature. It would be great if you could navigate around and click for info, save, and schedule reports like you can with the Web Reporting which is great.

          • Adding applications by administrators.

            Should allow customers to add their own applications in the list.

            This allows the customer to update faster its own list of applications

              • Application Control: Ability to allow Applications without a packet filter rule. Would be nice - at the moment you have to to set up a packe

                Ability to allow applications without a packet filter rule. Would be nice - at the moment you have to to set up a packet filter rule even if you have a Application Control rule that accepts the usage of a specific application.The current behaviour makes no sense for me.

                • Generate an email alert for high CPU and RAM usage

                  It would be nice to be alerted via email (or other methods) when the CPU usage or CPU usage of the Sophos appliance gets above a certain threshold. We have had issues where our customers suffer from slow internet speeds that are caused by high device utilization. It would be nice to be alerted to this.

                  • Application control applied to users through Citrix server

                    A Citrix server that launches applications through the firewall is always identified with the same IP by the firewall. The need is to apply an application rule to users connected to this server. It would be great to add this feature (maybe thanks to an agent) for Citrix/TSE servers.

                      One of my user explain that " Essential to b able to scan https sites and also essential to be able to support messaging apps, in particular Skype and iMessage. For Skype – maybe even setting up a simple SOCKS proxy on the Web proxy might do the trick, we do not need to examine or track the contents of the Skype messages." case 3693911

                      • Block some and alert on others

                        Currently you can block or you can detect but allow to run (alert) but you cannot do one for some categories and the other for other categories. Customer would like to block something like voip but alert only on instant messengers.

                          Can you create a new application control for iHeart radio streaming? Cannot block access via group DNS entry as users cannot get to some legitimate sites.

                          • Add "Wetransfer" to Application Control > File Transfer

                            I see many services under "application control" > "file transfer", 110 actually, but besides services like YouSendIt I miss Wetransfer.

                            Can you please add it?
