Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable.""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 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.""Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""It is a very stable product.""The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""It is easy to use."

Cons
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors.""The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well.""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.""The stability has room for improvement.""I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar.""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.""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."

More Peplink SpeedFusion Cons →

"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
