"The deployment was very easy."
"Both the internal firewall management and the cloud can be managed by a single console."

"It's easy to use and allows us to integrate solutions together."
"It's the extra security that is the most valuable feature. You have insight into your traffic. There are some great insights into what utilities hackers are trying to exploit. It blocks a lot of stuff from the internet."

"The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups."
"We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
