7. Blue Coat PacketShaper

4.2

We have implemented the BlueCoat Packet Shaper 4 month ago in our organization. Our overall experience on average. Not bad or not more good also. First is we are not able to create any user, auto generated report is showing volume (application usage data amount) it should be bandwidth. When we create manual report then its only graph based report so any non technical person (management level) will not understand that.Read all insights and reviews for Blue Coat PacketShaper

8. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)

By Cisco Systems

5

I had a very positive experience with Cisco WAAS. It is a very good platform for optimising your ISP and your bandwidth usage. Cisco has always been known for its network optimising solutions, but this is one of the best products on the market. Policies can be defined not only on the basis of IP addresses but on the basis of applications as well like Teams, Zoom etc where you need proper bandwidth without any lag. Overall, it is a must product and I am very happy to have it.Read all insights and reviews for Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
