Question New ImunifyAV extension a massive setback?

[Martin.B]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.67.2

I get the impression, that the new ImunifyAV extension is massive step back in terms of usability, compared to the old, deprecated one.

In the old extension it was possible to link the extension to service plans, so we could have plans with customers who had access to the extension, while other (cheaper) plans had not. It seems like it isn't possible anymore.
Even the interface for the customers themselves seems missing. In the old extension they could open the interface (with the right service plan) and trigger scans or see which files were infected. I can't see an option like this in the new one.
And notifications are also missing (the already exsiting threads in this forum only point to the option of executing custom scripts)

I really hope I am just missing the right configuration options, but as it looks now, this is really unsatisfying.
What are your opinions on this matter?

Hello, @Martin.B

Could you please confirm what version of Imunify (i.e. the free one, ImunifyAV+, Imunify360 etc.) you are currently utilizing so I can double-check?

Regarding the notifications, CloudLinux is currently actively working on improving that and integrating the possibility to notify users for security issues. The ETA is the end of Q2.
At present, with Imunify, you can set up your custom script for notification.

Thank you, @Martin.B . I will confirm that with our team and get back to you with more clarity in the upcoming days. I appreciate your patience in advance.

@Martin.B , thank you for your questions. Regarding the possibility of linking the extension to to service plans, our team requested the implementation of the feature back from CloudLinux. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any firm answer on whether and when will that happen exactly. I will provide more details as soon as we have confirmation from their end. About the Imunify interface on customer level, it should still be present in the right-hand side menu. Let me know if that's not what you see on your end.
Also, please let me know if I am missing something or if any further details are needed.

Yes it seems to be a complete downgrade. Customers are now spammed with purchasing the Imunify360 version. It's ridiculous. It's like buying a new car and your windshield is full of stickers telling you that you can also buy winter tires at the same garage. Plesk seriously becoming bloatware.

I have recommended our customers to look for an alternative or use Maldet or whatever. Customers do not like bloatware. And this is exactly the point that Plesk is getting worse and worse by the day unfortunately.
