Citrix EdgeSight Service Pack 2

Friday, 09 March 2007 by Michel Roth

Citrix has seemingly quiet released Service Pack 2 for their Edgesight product. If Microsoft had released Service Packs for Windows 2003 this fast we'd be up to Service Pack 19 by now.... Really: Citrix EdgeSight 4.0 was released September 26, 2006. Service Pack 1 was released on December 7, 2006 and Service Pack 2 was released a week ago on the 28th of February 2007. That's a Service Pack every 2,5 months, give or take a few days. I'm sure this is not a pattern we're seeing here. Usually, so many Service Packs in such a small time means one of two things:

1. The product is so buggy that Citrix is forced to release Service Packs almost every other day.
2. Citrix is so into Edgesight that they've devoted everyone, down to Mark Templatons wife, to develop the Edgesight product and are updating the product like crazy.

Seriously, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I've been working with Edgesight for some time and Service Pack 1 solved some really big bugs like session data not being stored on Multi-language systems. Service Pack 2 seemingly doesn't fix that many issues. In my experiences with Edgesight so far, I've been amazed with what Edgesight is able to tell you about the whole of your environment. There's extreme potential in the product, but there is some (almost obvious) lack of functionality for the Presentation Server agent but perhaps we should give it some time. I'd love to talk to some Citrix Edgesight buff though. So if you're listening....

Oh right, I almost forgot... get Citrix EdgeSight Service Pack 2 here.
