    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.

    • Sometimes it takes time to update device software.
    • It offers scalable payment licenses, however it is important to have a good knowledge of how to handle this type of device.
    • It does not allow the handling of several IP addresses, in addition it lacks a black and white list of data.
    • Its configuration can be complex for a first time user, so it is important to have adequate knowledge for the proper functioning of the devices.

    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.
