    It is highly recommended to organisations with global presence. It is highly recommended to organisation focuses more on security and bandwidth. Super secured network. Best customer support you could get. The UI design seems to be something which is lacking better user experience, but this can be developed going further. Cost is also one thing to keep a check on.

    As I mentioned earlier, the kind of security providing is to the best in market you could get. It is one of the major factor to select it. Along with that they are providing global presence and dedicated network with larger capacity. That pretty much sums up why we went for this product.
