We use Cradlepoint NetCloud Engine to manage our many Cradlepoint devices deployed in the field, about 50 locations. It allows us to very easily make changes and control our AER1600 and CBA850 devices on the fly and in real time. It notifies us when there are problems with our devices and shows us health of the connectivity.

We use Cradlepoint NetCloud because of the high mobility of our workforce between our 56 different offices and the many offsite visits our staff do as part of their jobs. We install the agent on every laptop and even on desktop in remote offices in the organization to create a virtual WAN, emulating a hub and spoke WAN with SmartZones, so that each user has access to corporate resources from wherever they are. We use any Internet connection to get seamless access.

SD-WAN connectivity
Granular Manageability
Internal DNS resolution
Virtual IP Address Management
Site-based access rules

Always-on connectivity

Agent-based management

TCO vs traditional WAN was over 1,000% less
Increased connectivity improved security AND connectivity

We use Cradlepoint NetCloud to provide software-defined, secure network access and firewall transversal services for diagnostic telemedicine systems. Within our own company and across the clients we serve, Cradlepoint NetCloud is our go-to platform combining SD-WAN and fault-tolerant Smart WAN management into a single, centralized pane of glass. It is our de facto standard for virtualized network applications.

Standardization of solution delivery and client management (SD-WAN, Failover, Management, 4G LTE/WIFI as WAN/Ethernet, access control).
NetCloud Manger provides simple deployment, maintenance, configuration, provisioning, and user/virtual network management in one tool.
Equipment is highly robust, reliable, well supported, feature rich.
CradlePoint engineers are highly skilled and very helpful. Top-notch NOC support.
Good variety of solutions for customers of most sizes. From individual to small enterprise, there is a "right-sized" product available with all the high-end features you need, at prices suitable for the audience. Even the smallest and least-expensive routers pack almost all of the enterprise features.

Cradlepoint NetCloud virtual backplane bandwidth is improving but could limit some very large enterprise customers without creative network segmentation.
Further improvements to simplify NetCloud Manager use would be appreciated.
User license management and compliance tools need to be clarified and simplified.

Cradlepoint NetCloud has done for our managed services what VMWare did for our server room.
Even as a small, focused company, we can deliver enterprise-class solutions to other companies of all sizes.
The flexibility and feature-rich ecosystem allows true, remote reconfiguration which allows us to be responsive to to the changing requirements of our clients.
Changes to client network configurations now take a few mouse inputs and key strokes, instead of on-site visits and console cables.
We can quote, configure, and drop ship solutions directly from the Cradlepoint partner with confidence without leaving our desks, knowing that the tweaks and customizations we used to have to do in-shop will be waiting on the router when it is turned on.

We currently use Cradlepoint NetCloud to manage devices at approximately 20 remote locations. The product allows us to remotely modify device properties, create and restore settings backups, perform firmware upgrades, and monitor device use. NetCloud has saved lots of time by removing travel to remote, rural locations. In addition, it allows us to remotely monitor device status, such as whether a device is offline.

I have been using Cradlepoint's NetCloud product since before they acquired it from Pertino. It is one of my favorite tools. NetCloud is basically a set it and forget it always on VPN connection. One of the main challenges I had supporting my off-site users was troubleshooting their VPN connections which usually ended up being some kind of user error. Ever since I switched to the NetCloud product I haven't had to troubleshoot my off-site connections very often and if I do I can quickly narrow it down to a network issue at their site. I honestly can't remember a time that the issue was VPN based since I switched.

Support: They are always quick to respond.
The NetCloud service: It has never gone down in the four + years I have been using it.
Pricing is very competitive.

It has freed me up to do more productive things instead of troubleshooting the VPN.
It has made my employees happier because they have less frustrations working from home or on the road.
