F-Secure is best in class and has no major competition
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
F-Secure Business Suite was used for ssh connectivity and file transmission. It's primarily used in the IT parts of the organization that deal with server and application data files transmissions. Of most ssh solutions, F-Secure Business Suite was the most stable and user friendly. It has a very low initial cost as well as on-going maintenance costs.
Pros
- Most up to date secure/encryption technology.
- Very fast to set up and maintain.
- Supported by all major hardware platforms (Microsoft, Linux).
Cons
- X-windows support could be more robust.
- Virtual shell adaptation could be improved.
- Greater concurrency for large secure transmissions would be a great add-on.
Likelihood to Recommend
- Very stable and cost-effective.
- Better integration with leading database vendors would be great; this would address features that are missing like x-windows support and concurrent secure file transfers.
- Patching is relatively fast and not as frequent as other vendors (with no impact on adherence to security best practices).
- Very easy to install and low storage footprint.
