What do you like best about the product?
It is compatible with almost all platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, KVM etc. It is also compatible with cloud environments - AWS, Azure, and Google. At first glance it may seem difficult to implement, integrate and further use, but it has a fairly intuitive interface and after a little training, it is quite easy to implement and further use. Due to the fact that the system is modular, it is possible to use its capabilities and adapt it to specific requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price of licenses and continuous maintenance is not pleasing to the heart. While this product is an important cybersecurity tool for businesses of any size, it may not be affordable for small and medium-sized organizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Load Balancing and Traffic Management is the main future for me which solves the issue of distribution network traffic across multiple servers

What needs improvement?

The tool has limitations with respect to code and RAM. 

For how long have I used the solution?
