My experiences from upgrade to R71 on UTM1- 570 are: - performance is really better, average cpu usage on our UTM-1 570 went from 70% to 15% - I weren't able to switch on SecureXL which should be free of charge - when I try it, it says "No license" - I don't know if the antivirus is working or not - when I try to download eicar test file, I succeded and firewall only said that the file is detected (the switch for antivir is "block" of course) - if you had problem with high IOWAIT state during sending a policy at R70.3, it happenned to us even during ordinary situation at R71 and firewall restart was necessary - if you use UTM appliance, the space on / directory is only 1,5 GB after all updates. So you are forced to use antivirus in a new way otherwise you are not able to download bigger files.
