Technical support from NEC is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our previous NEC was quicker to deploy, but the performance on the new model is better. The physical characteristics are the same between the older and current models.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it. It took nearly two months for us to deploy. By comparison, our previous solution was deployed in 15 days.

What about the implementation team?

We have two engineers in charge of maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product. The most important thing for us is the service contract, and spare parts pricing is also important.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
