"The v11 clustering is a new technology they have brought in that does not require improvement. They are the leader in it."
"It has helped a lot to protect our organization from external attacks, especially XSS or XSRF types of attacks."
"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."
"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization.

"Improvements should enable customers to build a tailor-made solution in the future through a service portal."
"One area for improvement with F5 BIG-IP LTM could be its pricing, which some may find on the higher side."

"The stability has room for improvement."
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."

"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."
"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."
"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."
"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."
