Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients.""Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN.""Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable.""The encryption and the security standards are valuable.""The features I find most valuable is the VPN and the fact that we can apply our policies to the program.""I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people.""They have a very responsive customer service and support team.""Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."

"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets.""The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."

Cons
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam.""When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout.""The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product.""If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution.""The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies.""The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program.""A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience.""The initial setup is a bit complex."

"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge.""The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a product with a very transparent model of licensing. In the sense of hidden expenses, they do not exist with this model. ​"
  • "​We evaluated a lot of different options. We concluded that Barracuda NG Firewall provided the most features for an exemplary price. ​"
  • "My advice is to try and evaluate it (Barracuda offers a trial period of one month)."
  • "Pricing is good. Licensing is pretty much automatic if using Control Center."
  • "Pricing and licensing are fine. It's worth the value because every four years, if I buy any other product, I have to replace my hardware. But with Barracuda I get a free hardware upgrade. Today I'm using Xbox. After four years I can take another Xbox or a Ybox."
  • "It would be nice if the pricing and licensing offered for less."
  • "Purchasing through AWS Marketplace was good. We did it because it was easy."
  • "In general, it tends to be cheaper than most solutions."

  • "I believe we're getting some good discounts. We're paying less than $500 per AP. I don't know the annual maintenance cost."
