Aberdeen Solution Brief - NEW!
Packeteer's Users Don't Have Their Help Desk on Speed Dial
More than half of Best-in-Class organizations in Aberdeen's recent benchmark survey are using Packeteer's solutions. Read about strategies and performance between Packeteer's users and their peers. Please note the following about this report:
- Packeteer did not solicit and/or sponsor this in any way;
- Other Best-in-Class companies that were surveyed (a little over 40%) are utilizing a variety of other vendor's WAN Optimization solutions, and no other single vendor came close to Packeteer in application availability, response times, or bandwidth utilization when deployed in companies that were rated as Best-in-Class.
