This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto. The development software could improve the integration with cloud-based environments.
More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution. There are different circumstances for each customer. One might need the solution virtually and one might need it as a hardware. Demo implementations showing a variety of options would be beneficial. Data sheets, guides, and videos on the portal are good but not enough because we need to know more about the solution. We want to be strong technically with regard to deployments. We want more information on the add-ons and the solution's deep advantages. For example, our customer has experience with Riverbed WAN optimization. We have a trusting, long-term relationship with the customer and want to be able to guarantee the solution is better. With the solution being new to Egypt, we see the features and capabilities but need to know they will work in our customer's environment.

I would like to see better documentation for the integration of STDP traffic acceleration. That's one of the major things that people do not have good documentation for, and do not know how to deploy. Maybe a feature deployment guide is something that they can create. More specific knowledge base articles would be of benefit. They have a CLI guide, but it does not come handily when it is time to deploy. When it comes to features, there is no documentation that lists the details concerning them. They need to create a feature guide. For example, if somebody wants to know if a feature is supported, or what the benefits of it are, or what the loopholes are that they should be aware of, there is no documentation for that. Reporting is something that they can improve on. Specifically, I would like a bandwidth monitoring tool. They have brilliant graphs that show bandwidth savings, but I would like to see it on a per-application basis. Another thing that I find is that many people do not know about this solution. It should be marketed better so that people are more aware of it.

There are some functional limitations that could improve.
