The reliability of he hardware is oustanding - we had one hardware issue in 10 years and it was swapped overnight. > > **Cons**: The UI isn't sparkling but it does the job. The biggest shortcoming we had was lack of easy integration with Azure AD accounts using non Domain joined devices. > > We started with a desktop model and over the years worked up to a rackmount M series. We always received good support for the few issues we had and always received what I felt were excellent value upgrade and tradeup prices ----- ### "Great Firewall" — 5.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *27 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to setup , Great features.
