Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used Connectify as a laptop hotspot, it really helped me expand the wifi network from my LAN device to other devices. Generally, we don't really have multiple Ethernet LAN ports available as Switches are costly which is not a feasible solution for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) environment). And with Connectify, WiFi can be extended, and most of the devices can support WiFi, so multiple devices can be connected with even limited LAN ports available.
Pros and Cons
  • It can expand the WiFi network or LAN network.
  • Multiple devices can be connected with the same network, which eases the burden of securing multiple Internet connections, as we use a single Internet connection.
  • Devices such as Printers, Scanners, IoT devices can be connected with same Network.
  • It removes the need for Having a Physical WiFi router. This helps save some money, which is critical for Small Office Home Office.
  • Connectify has very big competition with Mobile Hotspot, they should add some more features.
  • Connectify has software Speedify, however, this has very limited features when combining two different Internet connections.
  • Connectify needs to find a way of combining different Internet Connections, they should use QOS when doing that. So that they can give the best path for preferred traffic.
  • Connectivity should add multiple SD-WAN features. And they should give users more granular control over which path traffic can go.
Likelihood to Recommend
Connectify is well suited for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) environment, where we may want to save some cost by not buying the physical switch or physical Wifi router, as they are costly. Also with Connectify, there is a way possible for better connection control. Better device control and at some point it helps in Secure the Internet as we just need to have one single Internet connection to secure.
Most Important Features
  • Hotspot is most important.
  • Devices Control which can be connected with network.
Return on Investment
  • Connectify helped me save the cost of Wifi router when I extended my LAN/Wifi network to another device.
  • Connectify helped me extend the Internet where my Physical WiFi router range was not available.
  • Connectify helped me in connecting multiple devices when my Physical Wifi router was not allowing any more connection.
Alternatives Considered
Connectify is always the first choice, as there multiple Wifi hotspot software are available, but with very limited function. However, Connectify has different solutions such as Speedify which also makes it a very favorable choice.
