We are sometimes asked how we position ourselves against Cisco WAAS. (Both by resellers and end users) We will use this opportunity to summarise.

Cisco WAAS is focused entirely on the enterprise market whereas Opteq is equally suited to both enterprise and ISP environments.

Most people I chatted to however admitted that they still have poor VoIP/SAP/CRM/Video quality at times and were really interested in the differences once we got talking.
