Easy to use with a good user interface and excellent management capabilities

The solution is very easy to use. It's not very complicated. It's easy to control our users and to block users from accessing the internet, for example. I'm able to easily manage my internet's bandwidth. The firewall is fantastic. It's one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The initial setup is pretty easy. The solution has good integration capabilities. There's the opportunity to do a seminar with the company, in order for users to help better understand the solution. The user interface is quite good. Everything is easy to find.
