We had problems with the GUI that did not affect performance. Specifically, the reports would sometimes mismatch the data and we occasionally had difficulty adding new information or adding clients. These problems aren't disastrous, however, if there are problems in programming the GUI it makes us wary of quality control in other areas of the product. Every product that we reviewed could do what Guidepost could do and more. For roughly the same price, products such as AccessPoint and PacketShaper offer more robustness.
Guidepost is easy to use, however.
If you don't need the extended functionality of the other products, then Guidepost can be considered for its ease of use and reporting capabilities.
