    I can not recommend upgrading to 17.1 currently. Version 15.1 seems currently the one to choose. 16.1 is not compatible with new rSeries.

    I upgraded from 16.1 to 17.1 because we migrated to rSeries and we had some severe issues with ASM bugs and behaviour changes.

    Upgrades to v16.1 runs smootly for ASM, but there are always some caveats. Some I noticed:

    • ASM on v16.1 has a higher performance impact
    • DOS Profiles are automatically migrated to DOS + BOT Profiles
