Now that Adobe’s version of Flash is no longer supported, customers can download WiNG-Man V1.0.4 starting at 12:00 noon EST on Januto continue managing your WiNG environment. This is the official statement regarding WiNG-Manager: Hi everyone, I have some more information this morning. Thanks to all of you for giving us some news via this topic. The most frustrating thing is that the announcement of the end of flash support by Chrome was published on July 25, 2017: How to do in such a short time? If in addition the APs need to be changed for the evolution it will be very very short. How to prepare all this?Īs a WING solution integrator we have more than a hundred different customers (small site in VC mode or multi-site) equipped with WING. We are 5 months away from the deadline and nothing is done yet. So I have to prepare my migrations for the customers What scares me the most is that all my customers who will have their browser up to date will not be able to access their GUI in January 2021. Most of the time, I don't even present the GUI of the VX and I try to sell a Nsight for infrastructure monitoring. Luckily CLI is great and very powerful so if the client is not allergic it is a joy to work in CLI. Thank you for your answers, I completely agree with you Tomasz. Hoping they are on the right track with migrating from flash-based UI, in the meantime I’d focus on CLI-based demonstrations, this is what allows to see full efficiency, speed and beauty of flexible configuration model, site-wide packet captures and so on.
But with Flash it’s not only a look & feel issue (and these darn refresh = relogin thing), it’s also about security and it would be nice to see care is taken before an ultimate deadline given by browser developers.
Non-technical customer representatives may often compare features from the datasheet and I suspect that’s one of the driving factors rather than look & feel. I think it could have become a bit too hectic when trying to manage and integrate all the stuff together, limited time & money and endless tasks and must-have features to not fall behind with buzzwords ‘n’ stuff (I could even find some plans regarding 8x8 11ax AP: but better not treat this doc seriously). One can get used to it after a while, in fact it’s not about how it looks. Agreed, look & feel of WiNG GUI is a bit cringy at first sight, I even had a customer who told me “it’s nice but let’s come back to business when they migrate from Flash”.
