Cons
"As a church, we don't employ a typical IT person, so it would help if they could set up a more user-friendly layman's type of profile and settings, where everything is simplified into layman's terms. For example, it could say, "Turn internet speed up for guest use," or "Turn it down," or "Turn it off," or "Reset it."""As a new customer opening our first worship center, I would have liked for Astound to provide examples of products other churches use."

More Astound Managed SD-WAN Cons →

"This solution needs to improve with respect to zero-day attack response.""As far as new ransomware and the next-generation malware is concerned, Symantec is not quite up to the mark.""The solution needs to improve its reporting functionality. That's lacking right now. They need to change the layout or make it more functional.""Technical support is the one thing about this solution that is not good.""The reporting has fallen behind competing products and needs to be updated to meet or beat the competition.""The stability of the solution could use a lot of improvement. It was our biggest concern."
