    • The fact that the analytics is included in the product; it really is hard to recommend this. However; I would recommend the analytics be a little more easier to use and more intuitive for drilling down to the source of the problem.

    Some of the problem areas where I feel it wasn't easy enough like troubleshooting, digging deep with packet inspection, security. But Dynamic WAN Selection based on the AQS parameters give this solution an advantage on the other products. Newly added features like cloud application performance monitoring is simplified now.
