"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors.

"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."

"One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
"I don't think they're available at the best price."
"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience."
