Anyone have anything to say about Avere? I talked with them years ago, haven't heard much since.

Really great company from what I know, glad to see them get acquired in a positive fashion. I'm also based out of Pittsburgh and have met some of their team members over the years, seems like a solid business with a strong product/service.

They have a great, expensive product. It's worth it if you can afford it.
