What differentiates Cradlepoint NetCloud Exchange from other similar products?

I have not had much experience with other products but NetCloud has stood out to be easy to implement and very intuitive. It can be deployed in a very simple way or can meet the needs of an enterprise class environment by enabling more advanced features for WAN connectivity.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the centralized Cloud based configuration and management of all the routers and VPN capabilities. It's centralized management has made it very easy to administer and implement in our environment.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike the fact that there is no free virtual routers to play around with inside of NetCloud. It would be nice for testing scenarios and features that you might not be paying for in production.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try it out and see it in action for yourself. Even if you just use it for backup WAN or out of band management of existing network gear, its highly worth looking into.
