When mention about bandwidth management QoS, Packeteer is well known for it, but how about Allot's product? Has any one tried both companys' products before? And what's the difference between the two?

Packeteer's PacketShaper competes directly w/ Allot's NetEnforcer as a LAN-side traffic management appliance. Both are excellent products w/ very similar features. Allot also offers an award-winning WAN-side product (NetReality), which PKTR does not. Allot offers broader scalability in its models, double the performance/throughput, and pricing that is generally 15% less expensive than an equivalent PKTR unit. Both companies have thousands of customers around the world, so you can feel comfortable that both lines well tested. I am happy to provide more info via email.

Thank you very much Derek, our company is in the middle of selecting a bandwidth management product and, both Packeteer's PacketShaper and Allot's NetEnforcer are in our purchase list. Would appreciate that you could provide more info about NetEnforcer, including the price, compare with PacketShaper.

Thanks.

Cheaper does not equate to better. What type of compression does Allot offer? That is my first question?
