"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
