Hey Glenn
Thanks for replying. I appreciate the comment. I did read the blog post posted a few months ago about v12.2.0. I hope those aren't the only big changes you are referring to. I say that because only one major feature is being introduced which is the Asset Reporting. Not to mention a beta hasn't even been released for review based on the comments in that thread.
I've already posted many feature requests. In fact many are still up, open and highly voted since I last used the WHD! I recall giving the same feedback to someone at Solar Winds who wanted to get feedback from customers on what features they wanted to see and how they used the system. I can't believe it but it has actually been over 2 years now since that occurred!
Anyways, I just wanted to see if things have improved. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like much as changed in 2 years which is a shame. I don't work in software development and don't claim to understand how difficult it is to develop for a product of this nature, but it seems the focus on been on adding features that integrate into other SolarWinds products which is disappointing since there are so many other features people have been clamoring for! It would be great if features would just be introduced as they are finished and completed rather than waiting for a bunch of major features to release the product. This is how other big companies like Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, etc. have started updating their products and it works great.
I'm hopeful that these improvements you say will be great, but I think this is a case of actions speaking louder than words. Over the years, experience has taught me to expect the worst, and hope for the best.
