A stable product that provides excellent encryption, security, and technical support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The encryption and the security standards are valuable.
What needs improvement?
We need high availability and load balancing. The product does not enable load balancing. We are looking for alternate solutions. We have multiple VPN channels with clients and sites. We need to ensure that the traffic is optimized so that the full bandwidth of the existing network is utilized. If the link goes down, the traffic must be routed without any downtime in the connection.

I have been using the solution for the past six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. We haven't faced any issues with the stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten. The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors. Scaling with limited options doesn’t make sense. Around 80 people are using the solution.

The product is a bit cheaper than some solutions. It depends on the type of load.
What other advice do I have?
We are partners of the product. The solution must include as many features as possible. Each environment has different use cases. The features provided by the tool must be flexible enough to address our use cases and requirements. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
