## Elfiq SD-WAN Reviews
  ### 1. Amazing job at aggregating internet providers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Elfiq SD-WAN?**

Very easy setup.  But that's not all, it's amazing how automatically it distributes my internet traffic over my available internet providers, not only in fail-over mode but in active/active participation.  Some session-less traffic can even be split across internet providers, such as file downloads.  This means that even as a single user, I get the advantage of my aggregated internet pipe, not just a single provider.

For example, a 10mbps microwave and a 3mbps DSL2 provider gives me 13mbps aggregated, obviously at different latency rates.  I get the best route based on availability.  I can also specify that certain targets prefer one channel over another, so for example I force my windows updates on my 3mbps cable provider so it doesn't affect the 10mbps bandwidth.  Also, I love the dashboard metrics.  Very useful to see what's going on.

**What do you dislike about Elfiq SD-WAN?**

This has great application for home or home office users, but it's not priced accordingly.  It's definitely prices for an enterprise marketplace.  Also, support is great, but costly.

**Recommendations to others considering Elfiq SD-WAN:**

Elfiq is a bit pricier than some of their competitors, but be sure you are getting the full set of features you need.  At the time I purchased (late 2016) elfiq was the only non-Cisco solution I could find that provided the ability for the same user to use multiple vendor conduits simultaneously.  As a small-user shop, this is very important to me.

**What problems is Elfiq SD-WAN solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have low bandwidth capabilities due to my location.  DSL2 is available at low speeds, satellite is of course an option, and fortunately I have access to a microwave provider.  No high speed cable or fiber available to me here.  This appliance allows me to get different services from various providers and treat them as a single "pipe" to the internet.  It also provides automatic recovery from failure; if one provider goes down all traffic is automatically routed to the other provider(s).
