  • 1.  Advanced vs Premium over WAN

    Posted 01-31-2020 13:09
    Assuming Remote Desktop is not an option and potential customer is insisting on using a really high speed VPN/WAN, is it better to go with Premium or would Advanced be faster.

    We have a customer using a VPN connection (web-based tool) with Advanced and it works very well, no lag.

    Yesterday, Sage support said:
    Sage Premium:  slowest
    Sage Standard   little faster
    Sage Advanced  fastest

    A customer upgraded from Advanced to Premium (SQL) and is complaining about response times.

    Any tips from experiences with slow Sage Premium appreciated.

    If you have tried all of the usual suspects and it is still running slow on a VM, then you may want to look at the hardware and firmware configuration.  Does it speed up if yo shut down the other VMs?  If so, you may want to examine the RAID configuration, the RAID controller setup (cache, etc).,

    To say that Standard is faster than Premium over a WAN link is pure insanity.

    Thank you all. I was leaning towards Advanced so
    thanks for confirming.

    @Lee Graham take that with a grain of salt. My customer called Sage to ask for recommendations on requirements of SQL for Premium and got multiple deer in headlight looks.

    Just make sure you discuss the need for a fast connection. I’ve seen companies go this route then they want to suddenly add salespeople tethering off a phone. IMO, it’s better to recommend a Remote Desktop type solution and let the customer override you.

    The gotcha’s I’ve seen:
    - workstation setup
    - workstation syncs

    Both can run slowly over a regular data line.

    I also don’t know what impact any third party integrations might have.

    I would put in writing/email a recommendation that they go with a Remote Desktop type solution and if they override you and have a poor experience you have your recommendation to keep you out of trouble.
