We used the solution to test and validate security certification for applications. We validated testing for traffic scenarios and multiple protocols as we created policies in the firewall using it.

The solution's most valuable feature is testing for IDP scenarios. We validated tests for transition, prevention, performance, and connection scenarios, using this feature.

They should improve UI mode packages for the users. Also, they should enhance testing for features and functionalities. In addition, they should work on matching the performance capacity on the interface level with the actual performance.

We have used the solution for seven or eight months.

The solution could be more stable while testing.

It is a scalable solution.

Once, when I raised a ticket regarding a hardware or software issue, the solution's support team visited our company to discuss and find out ways to solve the problem. Sometimes, they asked us to send several photos from the back and front end to identify the issue. It was time-consuming as we were occupied with some other testing simultaneously. Instead, it would have been great if they could have visited our company and rectified the problem.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. We have to create a security profile. The process takes 30 minutes to complete for a single stack profile.

The solution is expensive. We can purchase the license based on the services required. It costs around $1000. Moreover, the renewal license is costlier. 

BreakingPoint tests traffic, mix profiles, and enrollment scenarios better than other solutions. I recommend it to others and rate it as an eight.
