It offers excellent threat protection thanks to its advanced security structure, ensuring that your data will be stolen without any cyberattack.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Like

Secure connectivity and scalability.

Like

High network reliability, strong customer support, great reach across the United States

Dislike

Technical support is sometimes very slow, and specific questions about the service are often lacking. Implementing the network structure requires advanced personnel and can be tedious, resulting in poor performance. Service prices are not cheap. For relatively small businesses, the lack of affordable services is a problem, but the security of the service may make it worthwhile to hire them.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

Experienced delays in provisioning.

Dislike

Lead times to get a new Network set up if they are not in the area can take some time, documentation around configuration could be a little bit stronger, would love a little bit more pricing transparency on the website versus having to talk to an account manager.
