  ### 12. Moxa Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018

**What do you like best about Moxa?**

Very simple setup and saving and uploading configuration files are simple as well. I don't have lot of negative thing to say about the product.  It's actually a robust modem for such a tiny device.  It has to take on extreme temperatures and handles it just fine.  Weather like sub-zero and above 110 F.  It is a very rugged device, It can take a beating and keep going to a long period of time.  

**What do you dislike about Moxa?**

The can be glitchy connection wise from time to time. Worse case scenario, like many micro controller the unit can just stop working for zero reason.  But just resetting the unit to factory setting and then uploading the configuration files will typically fix the issue.  I have had to toss less then five units over the past five years.

**Recommendations to others considering Moxa:**

It's a great product, does the job with little setup. Like I mentioned before,  It can take on extreme weather like sub-zero and above 110 F.  It is a very rugged device, It can take a beating and keep going to a long period of time.  

**What problems is Moxa solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows network connectivity for our metering department for data collections. It is just one component that sits behind a firewall.  As long as the firewall is configured properly there is no trouble accessing the Moxa.  It's nice that is has an internal web server so that you can access it remotely  and fix issues if necessary.
