News and Announcements / Re: Zentyal 4.0 Roadmap Published!
« on: August 01, 2014, 03:43:10 am »
I want to add my 2 cents on this.
First I support the narrowing of Zentyal's scope. There is nothing that is stopping them from doing another distribution down the line if they want to make a GW product etc. - but for now to be successful they need a scope that is reasonable so it's smart to focus on what they are the only ones doing right - the Exchange drop-in solution.
Now it's no secret that for the GW part there are other free solutions that are much better than what Zentyal is/was in that area - pfSense comes to mind. If you can't make 2 machines then make a VMware solution and run pfSense as your GW/IDS/SDI/Whatever solution and run Zentyal for the Exchange - seems like the smart way to go.
The only thing in the Roadmap that confused me was this: Removal of the Free Zentyal Account - What does that mean exactly? No configuration backup for community?
