    For what my team uses GeoSurf for, it is well suited for jumping from country to country to quality control content placements very quickly. For the most part it is reliable, efficient and fast, changing countries and loading content instantly. Our company uses it for a fairly specific task on only our company website, but for what we use it for, it is a very powerful tool.

    Cons
    BIScience
    • It has been very difficult to set up GeoSurf for a device like an Xbox or Playstation, requiring significant experimentation and multiple devices daisy-chained and we needed to write detailed integration guides for testers. Device-specific solutions or guides would help tremendously.

    Alternatives Considered
    BIScience
    Geosurf blows them out of the water in terms of features and liability. Freedom offers a cheaper cost but when you are working for a big company it is time to bring out the big guns and that is where GeoSurf comes in. Reliable is an understatement for sure.
