G'Day,
I use Cradlepoint and have for too many years. I mainly use schneider combox with it for a few clients. The introduction of the gateway has made the data usage go way down as the software is better at minimizing the packets. Packets is probably the wrong word. I am not sure how much Optics uses from the mate3 but I would think the latest version of Optics would be better. It can be easier to just avoid the web (insight2) for me to monitor a power system and go into mate3 like I do with combox/gateway. It depends on what you need and the system owner. They can all be different. It is nice to see them all in one place on the web also. The distance to the site and owner savvy often drives all of this.. Hope this helps. Are you an Aussie in New York?
