Hi Gerard,
We dropped Packeteer/Bluecoat several years ago for Procera Networks Packet=
Logic and have been happy ever since. The only thing I tend to gripe about =
is the cost of this solution. It does the job, but it is not cheap and if y=
ou want redundancy in boxes it's going to cost a pretty penny. Short of tha=
t, we have had little trouble with it and the new features they claim are f=
orthcoming in versions 13 and 14 have us very excited.

Subject: Bluecoat, Procera, Exinda
Friends,
We have outgrown our Bluecoat PacketShaper 7500 and have narrowed the searc=
h for replacement down to three products:
* Bluecoat PacketShaper 12000
* Exinda 6760
* Procera PacketLogic PL7720
Do any of you have rants, raves, or ridicules you'd be willing to share in =
terms of reliability, performance and support on any of these products?
Thanks,
-Gerard Duguay, Seattle Pacific Univ.
