The most valuable feature for us was to implement negligent functionality, to direct functionality to viewer control and application control so we could disconnect, and at the same time, we installed checkpoints. We disconnected our proxy.

What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony.

Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM.

Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session.

The solution could be improved if there was a better way to report. The reporting functionality is not really good. Even though it's not the major function. Maybe adding a way to make a custom report.

While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade.

I would like to see improvements in the report area. Some features should be integrated and not licensed separately.
