should i upgrade from v5.0.18 to v6.0

[Hivos]

I've been through the update procedure from 5.0.11 up to 5.0.18 without any problems whatsoever. Version 6.0 however is a different story, on our test server we no longer have external POP access (hotmail) and no advanced zimbra webmail client at all when you have secondary (parent / child) accounts configured. I'll wait until 6.0.1 for re-evaluation, 6.0 is not production ready, or at least not in our setup.

I've updated my home ZCS server from 5.0.18 to 6.0.0 GA with the only issue so far with stats service stopping. Hardly a show stopper but in another thread it is being addressed.
I will however wait before updating my company's ZCS 5.0.18 64bit system to 6.0.0 until I am happy that others are updating ok, whether it be to a sub version e.g. 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 etc

You should upgrade to 5.0.18; there was a security fix that was addressed as a hotfix in 5.0.16 and then rolled into 5.0.18.

Personally although I'm tempted by some of the features/bugfixes in 6.0, I'm wary of some of the problems I've seen reported. Depending on when things are released I think it's likely I'll wait for 6.0.1, going to 5.0.19 in the interim.

Same thing here: I updated one of our small deployments to 6.0.0: No Graphs anymore and HEAVY CPU Usage. I had shut down the logger process since it
caused 100% CPU Utilization. Also the Admin Webfrontend seems to be really slow for now reason. Has someone a similar behaviour?

same for me, we run zimbra on RHEL4 and VMware for 100 users:
1. no graphs anymore (not realy an issue for me, i suppose there will be soon an update)
2. CPU increased significantly since the 6.0.0 update (first image), could be a problem for servers having already heavy load.
3. today zmlogger went up to 100% (second image). i had to restart the zmlogger service.
4. slow admin interface, seemed a bit better after restarting zimbra.

Thank you everyone for your replies

i think i will hold on for a while with the upgrade & wait for the 6.0.1
Though, i have my experimental setup running
