What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required."

"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."

"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
