  • The positive impact is that it gave us some return on value so that we don't have to invest too much on multi-vendor products, as well as giving us the flexibility to choose what sort of features that we need to turn on or use at any given time.
It's improved our experience because it's allowed us to group all our devices and hardware that we purchase for the solution so we can manage it in a single pane of glass and we don't have to do too much about manually configuring and deploying any of our configurations.
Because the support has been quite bumpy, but it was satisfactory enough to get our projects and deployment of the solution.
I haven't seen any.
It's well suited in our corporate offices, where all our business users resides and where we can control all their accesses. What doesn't really fit well is when we have our branch fronts, where all the software domain access features aren't utilized to its fullest, due to the fact that customers and users don't really need to have all the security features that SDA provides.
