We performed a comparison between Huawei Enterprise Routers and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Internet access is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."
"The scalability is good."
"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"I like VMware SD-WAN's automation and zero-touch provisioning. Its main advantage is simplicity. Anyone can use this gateway."
"VeloCloud developed DMPO to increase performance and connectivity."
"The most valuable feature is the Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), which allows the customer to maintain and monitor their link quality in real-time."
"I have found the dynamic multipoint protocol(DNPO) most useful because it can tell you which is the best circuit to use for different types of traffic."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"Some of the best features are the SD-WAN platform for VMware and the NSX network virtualization."
"The product’s most valuable feature is DMPO."
"Increases the performance of applications and is easy to deploy."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"The product’s performance could be better."
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."
"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."
"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"The solution needs improvement on security features and should include two firewalls. Cloud VPN can’t support any link. The solution needs to also improve the availability of centralized internal management. It needs to have debug detection and Deep Packet Detection features as well. The documentation for VMware is also hard to find."
"There is still room for improvement in support and security, especially in enhancing the SASE aspect of the platform."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
"The initial setup of VMware SD-WAN was simple. However, it took six days to complete."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
"VMware SD-WAN can improve on the security features."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
