Optimizes the enterprise network

9 /10

What differentiates Aruba EdgeConnect from other similar products?

What differentiates this tool from other similar solutions is that besides detecting network problems this tool reduces the problems in an autonomous way thanks to the fact that it works with advances in technology, it is also a solution that works well even with remote users so being in a single environment is not essential for this system.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that it allows a safe working environment as it protects the network and helps to optimize enterprise systems already present, it is a tool that should be a priority in organizations as it allows centralized management of enterprise networks, their plans are also accessible and very safe.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It does not offer control over the entire network traffic, something that could help to further optimize its performance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend this tool because it is secure, it delivers what it promises in terms of security and its deployment and implementation is quite fast, it is able to detect failures almost instantly so it will work in a protected environment
