We performed a comparison between Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"First and foremost, it enables the customer to deploy high availability connections. This kind of solution enables them to deploy these HA connections for policies mostly automatically. It's a more automated approach than with other vendors."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."
"At the moment, for us, it is a very good solution because it has all the features we need and it is not so expensive."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"The flexibility is a great feature."

"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"We would like to have better features for path selection. For example, if we know the network is going to go down then we would like to set up an alternate route for data packets in real-time."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations."
