Key learnings from peers
Last updated Mar 26, 2026
Valuable Features
"It's fast, we are pumping in nearly 5GB of data in a day, and it just works."
Room for Improvement
"The UI is clunky for administration, eFTL at times is not fully stable and have observed a few crashes, and the content matcher could be improved for or conditions."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
