Positive
How was the initial setup?
In terms of setting up the solution, it's quite straightforward and simple. It's not an overly complex process. The deployment takes about two hours. It doesn't take long at all to get everything up and running.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution does not come cheap. It is pricey. This is a critical issue for us.
What other advice do I have?
We're a customer and end-user.
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.
We needed to buy Package Broker. It was a requirement for us. If you want to use a security chain on your internet, you have to use something like Package Broker. We decided on a benchmark and then had a look around, and then we decided to get Ixia Packet Broker in the end.
I'd recommend the solution to others.
Overall, I would rate the solution ten out of ten as we have been very satisfied with the capabilities on offer.
