The initial setup process is easy. The deployment time depends on specific firewall rules and IT and data requirements.

We can push it out easily, so that's good. Once we get it set up, we have to do a system rebuild, and the licensed recycling is the problem. We like to use it on web browsers to do safe URL tracking. The installation goes into a standard image and is not a problem. We did the installation in-house.

We used IT people for the deployment so we didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment doesn't take long. You just click on a link and it's pretty much fine.

I was not on the team when it was deployed but my understanding is that the initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup depends on the complexity of the project.

The maintenance of the equipment requires about thirty techs.

The deployment process is ongoing as we are still finding problems with it. I would say we are looking at about a couple of months to really complete the process of setup. That is with four people involved in the deployment process. It was entirely too long.

The configuration is pretty straightforward for both vendors. It's plug and play. Because they give you access to the cloud console, as soon as you log in you can get started. If you have all the clients pointing to the cloud proxy then it's just plug and play.
