We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
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 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.""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 most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator.""It is a very stable product.""The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."

"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.""Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement.""The solution is stable and suitable.""Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful.""Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."

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

More Peplink SpeedFusion Cons →

"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality.""The support needs to be improved.""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 solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it.""With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself.""The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved.""I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more.""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."

  • "The cost is in the middle, a five out of ten."
  • "It's not cheap, but it is highly competitive."

  • More Peplink SpeedFusion Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is expensive but it makes sense for the market."

  • "While I cannot provide too much commentary on the price, I feel it to be fair for the moment."
  • "We provide subscriptions for our customers on a yearly, not monthly, basis."
  • "Price wise, it's more expensive than is the competition. I would give pricing a rating of three out of five."
