It's a bit unreal how easy they are to configure - I had a 3 node mesh VPN setup deployed in under 45 minutes, including WAN acceleration on two of the nodes. Lots of other benefits we're just starting to look at, like the self-healing, configuration management, PCI compliance checking, secure client check-in, etc.

The other neat thing is that their devices are lifetime warranty - a device breaks, they cross-ship you another one.

Very impressed so far with what I've seen of their gear. Their engineers are unbelievably approachable and communicative too.
