"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy.""The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator.""It is a very stable product.""In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely.""The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable.""The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."

Cons
"The initial setup could be made easier.""The initial connection could be faster. That handshake takes a few seconds sometimes. That could be better and improved upon.""I would like to see improved logging because it doesn't keep much information for the session monitoring or historical sessions.""I would like to see better configuration of repairs and downloading certification.""Sometimes the input-output has issues.""The product should be more secure.""The initial setup is not straightforward.""It's extremely complicated and it's not intuitive. The solution requires a lot of training to get going on it."

"The stability has room for improvement.""I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar.""The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well.""Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue.""Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network.""There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device.""They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
