Alternative to Peplink: How Speedify Provides Superior Bonding Solutions
Network reliability is mission-critical within the business environment. When your enterprise depends on seamless connectivity for operations, video conferencing, cloud applications, and real-time data transfers, connection failures can cost thousands of dollars per minute.
This reality has driven many organizations to explore bonding solutions like Peplink and Speedify, which includes the flexibility of a software solution that is hardware agnostic vs. dedicated proprietary hardware only.
Peplink's Bonding Solution Offer
Peplink provides bonding solutions that combine multiple internet connections into a single data stream using its SpeedFusion technology. This allows enterprises to use different WAN sources such as fiber, DSL, LTE, or satellite together, supporting functions like VPN failover, WAN smoothing, and hot failover.
These solutions are managed through InControl 2, a cloud-based platform for monitoring and configuration. Peplink’s proprietary hardware, including the Balance and MAX series routers, are required for the implementation across various enterprise environments.
Why Enterprises Consider Speedify as an Alternative to Peplink
Speedify has emerged as a notable alternative to Peplink for organizations seeking bonding solutions. Built for both consumers and enterprise environments, Speedify delivers performance through channel bonding technology that combines multiple internet connections while providing automatic failover capabilities. Thanks to its strong presence in the consumer market, there’s the added benefit of having hundreds of thousands of users provide feedback on constantly making it better.
Speedify's hardware agnostic architecture is designed for deployment across diverse network environments. This approach can result in reduced implementation time and lower IT overhead compared to traditional bonding solutions like Peplink, which require their own proprietary hardware.
