Having used Allot NetEnforcer for years, then moved to Exinda for years, we are now considering removing bandwidth managers altogether and relying solely on policing on radios, QoS policies on core routers & layer 3 switches, and monitoring flows using Netflow.
More work, but much less $$. Allows us to invest in infrastructure rather than extraordinarily expensive bandwidth management devices.

I say we all throw in $5K, hire some developers and get one made that we have control over :) I have to believe some decent server quality hardware running on an open source operating system with custom code could fit the bill. Just don't have time to work on this myself. _____ Larry A.

I am hooked and want to learn more, but at $17k a pop it’s a little hard to swallow, as I would need to purchase 4 of them for my current locations that I serve. Are there any other solution I can look for to do similar functions that may be more cost effective? I am also a little leery at the fact that I have left them 2 voice mail messages as well as sent an email from earlier this week with no return call. So that’s a concern if it takes a while to get sales support if tech support would be any different. So I was wanting some feed back from some actual users of their product or other similar products.
