I have used Sikaflex Caulking in building homes for years, and have had zero failure, so I trust their product. However, I feel the post epoxy is not really cost effective being twice the price of concrete per hole, as the average post hole takes two bags of post mix concrete, or one bag of Sika product. The other concern is the three minute set time, which to me is extremely short window to apply the product, and if the post moves while it is setting, even more stress on ones mind to correct the problem within that window.
Either way, the company probably feels that their product is ideal in "time savings", as one that is familiar with this use could theoretically set posts on their "three minute set schedule" and complete a fence run in a day, whereas with concrete a fence run takes two days, one to set posts, the other to build the fence to the cured posts. The other advantage they may see is it will work as a great substitute for concrete in an application for fence repair where security, or animal containment is immediately necessary, which is a great product for same.
