Cisco Managed Security Services vs. TCS Cyber Security Managed Services vs. Windstream Managed Network Security

Great for large enterprises. I would not use it for a small business [in my opinion].

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.

• Data transfer
• Ease of use
• UI/UX
• Support

• Market to all types of business needs
• Provide the Service we need
• They are widely available across the US

• Pricing
• Request a feature link
• Integrations

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

It's [Cisco Managed Security Services] really the only other product we use from them. I like its reliability and it's secure.

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

• Helps keep our churn low.
• Customer trust

• Our business can communicate between plants faster than normal
• Our business spends a lot of money
• Management likes how things look with Windstream
