    Connectify is well suited for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) environment, where we may want to save some cost by not buying the physical switch or physical Wifi router, as they are costly. Also with Connectify, there is a way possible for better connection control. Better device control and at some point it helps in Secure the Internet as we just need to have one single Internet connection to secure.

    • Connectify has very big competition with Mobile Hotspot, they should add some more features.
    • Connectify has software Speedify, however, this has very limited features when combining two different Internet connections.
    • Connectify needs to find a way of combining different Internet Connections, they should use QOS when doing that. So that they can give the best path for preferred traffic.
    • Connectivity should add multiple SD-WAN features. And they should give users more granular control over which path traffic can go.

    Connectify is much simpler, in my opinion, than using a mobile phone for hotspot as well as more reliable. While Connectify does occasionally disconnect, it is far less often than when I have used my mobile device. It is easier as well when it is right there on your computer, so you are not having to fix any issues going back and forth between devices

    • The software does not provide any advantage over the free alternatives.
    • The repeater mode was nice when it would work properly.
    • Creating hot spots helped when additional coverage was needed.
