Information Technology Security Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Management console adds value and technical support delivers timely solutions
I had issues with the user interface because, when putting settings up, the system asked me for strange things like virtual local networks that I didn't create. For example, I set an NTP server, and after some clicks, a message appeared stating 'setup is incorrect'. It asked for a VLAN even though no VLANs were created. We had to find workarounds for issues like A10 blocking necessary traffic, sometimes leading to decreased security, because it was the simplest way to deal with them. This was a real issue. A more flexible policy for demo licenses would also be helpful.

Automated threat detection has reduced staffing needs but dashboard design still needs improvement
Link11 offers high-performing platform capabilities and automated responses. The system operates on its own cloud infrastructure without requiring my input. The automated responses have helped my team and my workflow by reacting to threats in real time and helping mitigate attacks within moments instead of relying on manual alerts and manual response processes. Link11 has positively impacted my organization by helping analyze all incoming traffic continuously, functioning like an employee operating in the background. This background analysis has affected my organization's security and efficiency in that I do not have to worry about it. It operates on the back end automatically, taking care of things that I do not have to worry about or think about, but I know it is working.
