• They are simple to set up and configure. With just a few months of experience you can easily deploy any series of XTM in mid to small environments in minutes. I can deploy clustered M5600 in an enterprise within 30 minutes straight from the box, that's easy.
• They are very reasonably priced and competitive in the market. For small and mid-sized businesses it's hard to beat the bang for the buck.
• After setting them up, it's also very easy to fine tune and manage them. The packet monitor is very useful in troubleshooting and I use it to tighten down rule sets.
• Dimension is a great packet analyzer and I think they still offer it as a free tool.
