What do I think about the stability of the solution?
One of the best features is the performance is very good.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their technical support is average. Not perfect and not bad.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was complex. The networking was very complex; there are a lot of firewall ports.
It takes a few days to deploy and we do it with somebody in-house.
Both our side and the vendor's side are required for maintenance.
What other advice do I have?
I think it's probably a solution that has passed its prime. There are probably better ones out there.
