"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy.""I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations.""Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement.""It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams.""The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good.""The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable.""The flexibility is a great feature.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."

Cons
"It is missing important settings options.""The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced.""In our situation, the initial setup was complex."

More Cradlepoint NetCloud Cons →

"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation.""There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected.""We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades.""Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations.""The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up.""SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept.""The smaller units lack a lot of functionality.""The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
