"Elfiq is an appliance that no company should be without!
I have 2 100Mbps fiber connections and in the last month BOTH have failed (at different times). Elfiq did what it was designed to do and my users experienced ZERO downtime!
I even had to go and inform Senior Management that we were in failover mode - they had no indication. To top it all off, I was the one to inform my ISP's they were down thanks to the Elfiq's email alerts I received!"

Dan Elder, IT Manager

"We were looking for something quick and simple. We were looking for something where we had serious expansion capabilities to increase ISP speed, add more ISP providers and more firewalls; all contained within the original purchase.
It cost far less than a BGP implementation, and less than many of your competitors. There was really no effort required and we didn't have to change our clustered firewalls which are quite complex.
We also got to work with a Canadian company which was very positive for us.
Most importantly, I took it out of its box, plugged it in, and it worked perfectly. Later we may duplex it with a redundant backup and that will be done just as easily."
