What is most valuable?

The SVM deployment has very good performance.

Good MAC-based security for VPN, but client-level bandwidth allocation does not work properly

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is MAC-based security settings available with the VPN. We are in an academic environment, and teachers want some internet access blocked, whereas the students want access to it. Using this solution allows us to set up rule-based access control.

What other advice do I have?
