For me the big thing that SA needs going forward is the ability to cope with the new service security regime introduced with Vista (and which is also in Server 2008). But I know that last time I mentioned this Dirk wasn't very happy with me, so perhaps I shouldn't have said anything now, either. I do think it's a big issue, though, and over time it'll have a big impact on SA, as less and less people are able to use it as they migrate to newer operating systems. I think that's a real shame because I really like SA (and indeed have said so in various magazine articles over the years). I don't want to slowly die.

Well I do check the beta page. Alright there's been some updates to the Salive, I can't say there wasn't, but I think those were mainly bug fixes. Don't get me wrong I was just asking for some road map or anything because there were so many requests ... As for features ... again, there were many requests, password manager, mass editing of checks etc. ... and actually my main concern is stability. Since we upgraded from the 5.x to 6.x and 6.1 beta (we were forced, just because of a bug in the SMPP alerting engine) we lost stability. The SA hangs from time to time for no reason. The problem wasn't detected so I'm forced to check the SA service by vbscript. I believe I'm not alone since I do read mailing list.

I "think" we did add a few things that were said at that time. There is a beta site/page that shows all changes that we did, it's on http://beta.woodstone.nu (http://beta.woodstone.nu) Saying "lacks many features" is very vague, can you be more concrete with that?

From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Petr Bohac Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 12:51 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Salive roadmap Hi Dirk, a couple of weeks ago you asked us what we would like to improve on GUI and many of us sent a bunch of proposals for a new features. You said that some of them might be very easily included in future betas (6.1). So I'd like to ask whether you have some roadmap or some beta status page stating what you are up to. I don't really know where is salive going and it might be useful to give us some info. Indeed is Salive a great product for a great price but it also lacks many features. At this moment I'm being pushed to look for other alternatives (IP Monitor, OPS Manager 2007 ...) and there are many reasons like manageability, reporting, stability ...
