Hi Ilkers

Is this yet at a point where you would advise people using ESM to transfer to CDM, even if they currently have no non-PC devices to manage?

I ask because ESM updates appear to have slowed, which is understandable if CDM is taking over.

(Don’t get me wrong ESM is working well, but I’m still using workarounds to control firewalls etc, and ESM is still in Silverlight)

Kind regards

Mike

Thanks Ilkers for the quick response. I have signed up to the forum.

The spec looks really good, and I can see why you have combined with the One client.

(I’m a mod not an MSP, but have used ESM now for several years)

Will current users of ESM and CDM be offered an in-place upgrade at some point?

There’s a lot of work in the network and policy setups in ESM that people won’t want to lose.

Is it in Beta or final? The domestic One client is at an early stage of development, so I am just wondering how mature this is

I cannot see a download link by the way… How does one gain access to a trial version?

… I assume its HTML… Silverlight seriously limited ESM, plaform-wise…

Sorry, so many Q’s

Kind regards

Mike

Dear Ilkers

May I suggest a similar post in the ESM Board, if you have time, maybe with the above Qs answered as this would help users of ESM.

Kind regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

Let me answer one by one.

“Will current users of ESM and CDM be offered an in-place upgrade at some point?”
Yes, we plan to provide migration to all willing customers to Advanced Endpoint Protection Solution together with ITSM in second half of the year. However, we can help with profile migration even now if anyone requests to be migrated.

“Is it in Beta or final?”
It is not a BETA product. We are investing on this platform for years and we keep investing more.

How does one gain access to a trial version?
You can register for MSP version from this link: Sign Up Now - It's Free!
Enterprise version from this link: https://one.comodo.com/signup/enterprise/

Best regards,
Ilker

Thanks very much Ilkers, could I also ask whether the new manager software requires silverlight?

Kind regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

IT and Security Manager doesn’t require Silverlight. Endpoint Security Manager update would still need the Silverlight.

Best regards,
Ilker

I have a ONE account and Portal set-up that I no longer use.

Is it possible to delete the account and Portal as I no longer use it ?
