Comodo has a poor track record of timely releases. It feels like they often make false promises and do no actual work. Don't trust their release date announcements. Just wait for CIS 2024 to be released when it's ready.
It's a small company. They are struggling for resources, they have sold off their profitable SSL certification business to raise capital. "Xcitium" is their reinvention of themselves to make an appeal to business community that they are still a viable choice. Now tell me how can a struggling company bifurcate manpower to create a free product that doesn't do good to their objective to stay alive. So let's give it to them and wait patiently for their work. In the end we all need to understand that there are no free lunch served in corporate world.

The codebase is already developed, it is there. Every company with employees in their right mind will just create a knock-off of this codebase with minimal adaptations, for example instead of receiving settings from a managment server, they can use a local UI and a db writer.
It is not necessary for someone to reinvent the wheel.

Or even better, they could just disable some panels and functions in the console which are not relevant to home users and they could release an update by now. It’s not about the manpower solely, it’s about whether or not you actually care for your brand.
 
If Comodo is a small or large company, a poor or rich company etc, that has nothing to do with Comodo real problem: Lack of quality of its products, and lies.
I am on owner of small business as well and now working on a second one. It’s not a matter of small/large/rich/poor. It is a matter of passion and many other qualities.

"low quality products" seems to be your subjective comment or I guess for you that is a fact? :unsure:
Well… we all see the product 😀
 
At least for the last 3 years, Comodo products are full of bugs, no updates, nor upgrades, not even compatibility with Windows 11.
These are the objective facts and the reality.
In past, I only used Comodo Firewall (free)(with Cruelsister's suggested settings). Did not experience bugs (or perceive any), and I think it was updated during, or with-in, a 3-year period. I don't have CF past update release dates in front of me, so you may be right about 3-years... but seems like an overstatement depending when you are measuring from - to. :unsure: My hardware does not run win11 so that's a non-issue for me. I'm not sure of purpose of this thread since it is titled Comodo 2024 (started Fed 2023) and folks are arguing why it is not updated or out yet :unsure: I am not currently running CF but when I did, it worked as expected, some folks say it still does, other disagree.
 
CF has some usability bugs, but most users, especially default or CruelCF, won’t encounter them. CF works fine on my Win 10 and 11 systems, but use it, especially on Win 11, at your own risk. I hope CIS 2024 will have an alert option for auto-containment.
 
Any news?
None.

Here’s what the Comodo Moderator wrote:
At this point, these forums and its moderators have no official release date for CIS 2024, nor do we have a beta release.

The latest information we have is two posts by Melih:

On June 11th, 2023:
yes you can, as soon as its ready for beta test…​
is it 4 weeks or 5 weeks, I can’t tell you (or more…)​

On July 10th, 2023:
CIS is very much ALIVE and KICKING!!!​
Kicking ransomware ■■■!​
Kicking malware ■■■!​
CIS 2024 is coming soon…watch out for Beta…​

I have no special information because I do not work for Comodo or Xcitium.
Us moderators tend to have similar concerns and frustrations with Comodo as most other users.
We wish that CIS 2024 would be released already.

So, to everyone posting in this thread…
It does no good to incessantly complain.
It also does not help to bicker with another forum member.
It is certainly okay to voice your concerns and frustrations, but please be civil, avoid personal attacks, and avoid posting the same issues over and over.

The bottom line is…Comodo will release CIS 2024 when it is ready to be released.
I continue to hope it releases (at least in beta form) very soon.
 
I still love Comodo, but the above are the objective facts, and the reality. I do have an emotional side in favor of Comodo and I plan to test next Comodo version. But I can't ignore objective facts and reality.
Above you related your subjective experience.
a fact: I used CF for a few years, yes for its containment, and I did not experience any bugs. I don't consider that a subjective opinion, that is my objective experience, fwiw. Just relating it...
I had no reason to read the Comodo forum and never did. I remain of the opinion that some software has matured, (eg CF sandbox), works well and does not necessarily need to be updated every month or every year, etc. But agree it may not be ready or fully compatible with win11 (ie needs an update), although I have read some considered opinions that it does work with win11. :unsure:
 
What you described is a "subjective fact".
The objective fact is: The majority of Comodo users experienced bugs without being aware of them, and for the last 3 years part of these users reported at Comodo forum a long list of bugs (more than 100).
In your case, it doesn't exist such "objective experience". By definition, your experience always is subjective.
The objective experience is the experience of the majority of the users.
So a collection of comodo users subjective experiences (bugs) lumped together magically becomes objective by being posted on comodo forum :ROFLMAO: while my observation of no bugs is subjective?? At best in this context the difference between subjective & objective is murky. :unsure: and that's not even getting into quantum observation physics, see eg. Peace :whistle:
 
Instead, objectiveness is related to any experiment that can be confirmed by everybody.

You and Comodo fanboy/girls are not presenting objective facts that can be repeated by any person.
:unsure: my "fact" was I was not experiencing any bugs on my win10 running CF@cs. I recall CF being updated several times, but do not recall the dates. Clearly my FWIW.
Folks on the comodo forum are experts with CF? :unsure: If so, then the "real" experts must have thought those reported "bugs" were minor & irrelevant to protection, since apparently they were not fixed (my subjective assumption :whistle:) (were folks at comodo forum claiming their containment failed and they were infected?) I recall someone MT posting "free app," no harm no foul, perhaps "as is" -- use at your own risk, & since CF was working for me, seemed no point in reading the EULA. Was comodo guaranteeing it or offering a warranty? Seems unlikely. Use it or not, up to the user. hopefully the 2024 version will be released before 31 Dec 2024. Peace

Bugs are not the end of the world. Hardly any software is bug-free. But when you see that the company puts more effort on denying and concealing these bugs, rather than fixing them, this is when you can conclude that the offered products are of a low quality. And they are inferior compared to the products of other companies that put effort to provide ongoing support.

The fact that Comodo is not the NortonLifeLock and Trend Micro of cybersecurity (it’s more on the Nano Antivirus side) is not an excuse for offering low-quality product and claiming it is better than others at the same time.
 
People have been talking about bugs in CF for years. These bugs didn’t impact security. They only affected usability in specific situations. Comodo won’t fix some of them. There has been very little activity or reporting on Comodo Forums in the last three years. Reported CF problems on Windows 11 were not bugs because Comodo doesn’t officially support Windows 11. However, from my experience, CF works on both Windows 10 and 11 with no issues. Using CF on Windows 10 and 11 is at your own risk because Comodo is not officially compatible with Windows 11, and it may not be compatible with Windows 10 22H2 either.
