We performed a comparison between Juniper Mist Edge 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."The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"Feature-wise, VMware SD-WAN is a really strong cloud web security product."
"Anyone can migrate over to VeloCloud, it's that simple, just plug in the necessary cables and it's done."
"It is fairly similar to other solutions. It has the capability for testing link connectivity, which is its unique feature from a control perspective."
"The most valuable features of VMware SD-WAN are the overall capabilities and ease of use."
"SD-WAN is cloud-based and you can manage multiple sites within one single pane of glass."
"It's easy to deploy and manage. Even a small group of people can manage a large environment. It's stable, easy to deploy, easy to install—all the stuff."
"The most valuable feature is the Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), which allows the customer to maintain and monitor their link quality in real-time."
"The product’s most valuable feature is DMPO."
"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
"Reports could be simplified."
"VeloCloud needs improvement in terms of its security features."
"The product should have on-demand tunnels instead of fixed tunnels."
"VMware SD-WAN doesn't have the best built-in firewall."
"We don't have much visibility into the routing environment."
"The solution doesn't offer failover between their own devices. If I want to, I should be able to put the two devices at the side, so there can be a failover."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"There is one feature that would set VMware SD-WAN apart from others solutions, and that is what I call inter-cloud connectivity. All the solutions regarding VMware are good because for example, If I go from my workplace to a retail office and I want to use my applications in the Cloud, that is possible. Perhaps we have customers who have their IT partial environments hosted in different cloud locations, such as Amazon and Azure, and the interconnection between the clouds, this is not possible. If it was possible it would be a market game-changer. Having the SD-WAN solution that is good at optimizing and facilitating traffic between different cloud providers would be great."
