Press release 2021-642
Aachen, February 02, 2021—In the second round of the “Professional User Rating IT Operations” study by analysts techconsult, the German network infrastructure supplier LANCOM Systems has once again cleaned up across the board. This is the second consecutive ranking as “Champion”, this time with a clear lead over the competition. More than 2,400 users rated their experiences with “Network Management & Monitoring” solutions.
Absolute top marks were awarded by users for, among other things, the capabilities of the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) in terms of its performance, reliability, maintenance and remote functionality. The LMC also achieved best ratings for its range of functions, with a particularly convincing detailed (real-time) monitoring and analysis of the network and the detection of unusual and suspicious behavior. Further top marks were awarded to the LANCOM solution for its user friendliness, and it was the only solution to receive the best rating in the configuration category. Yet another undisputed top placing was achieved by the LMC from LANCOM in terms of product loyalty and the likelihood of a repeat purchase and recommendation.
The consistently positive results for the rating of the solution are also reflected in the manufacturer rating. Here, too, LANCOM stands out in terms of innovation, overall product portfolio or service & support. The most striking thing is: LANCOM secured 1st place in nearly every category.
“This outstanding rating again shows that we are extremely well positioned for SD-WAN and Cloud Managed Wi-Fi. We are particularly pleased to have this confirmed by an independent analysis. Even more pleasing is that we secured the top position by quite a wide margin in the already thin field of Champions,” says LANCOM managing director Ralf Koenzen.
The LANCOM Management Cloud is the basis for the LANCOM portfolio of solutions in Cloud Managed Networks, Cloud Managed Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, and SD-Branch. It uses SDN technologies (Software Defined Networking) to set up, monitor and manage entire networks with a high degree of automation and efficiency. The solution is developed entirely in Germany and meets the highest data-protection standards. It is available as a public cloud variant hosted in Germany, or as a private cloud for deployment in customers’ own data centers. The LMC is suitable for companies and institutes of all sizes.
The interviews for the “Professional User Rating IT Operations” 2021 were conducted in October and November 2020. The more than 2,400 participants make the PUR IT-Operations one of the largest IT user surveys in German-speaking countries.
