2Win! vs. Windstream Managed Network Security

I believe my specific experience may not be reflective of the overall brand. Much of the material we covered was "basic 101" level concepts. So these courses might be better suited for newer, less experienced teams. Or more accurately, folks who might be newer to the workforce. There was mention that there are other courses which are more specially tailored to issues faced by individuals deeper into their careers, however I was not inspired enough after the first couple classes to consider them.

Windstream is a widely available option for VPLS and other connectivity requirements. However, I believe they need to work on providing better notification and support of outages, service, etc. These services are also incredibly expensive, Windstream portrays a worthwhile service to accommodate your check every month, but it falls short. Windstream is available everywhere, but tread carefully when selecting a company that offers similar services.

• Their lesson plans are well structured

• Our instructor just seemed to be going through the motions - has previously heard good reviews for this instructor so this was a disappointment.
• Some of the lessons were 'obvious' and/or 'corny'.
• I felt as though I received very little benefit from the overall experience.

• Narrow down functionality of services
• Provide better support/service for outages
• Communicate more with stakeholders

Windstream was the only option for what we needed. It was available in Wisconsin, Iowa, New York, and Utah for all of our plants needs. It was also a service that has been used for years so we have not searched elsewhere for an alternative option. Many people have heard of Windstream, which gives it crediblity with IT professionals

• (Positive) It has highlighted alternative ways to present to prospects depending on their personality/persona/interests/etc.
• (Negative) It was scheduled during one of the busiest weeks of the year - drawing technical resources away from revenue generating activities.
