We performed a comparison between Meraki SD-WAN and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."The most valuable feature is the firewall capability. It's also got a very good graphical user interface and is very easy to manage."
"The solution is pretty easy to configure."
"The best feature we're using is the packet shaping."
"I have found the dashboard very useful, you can configure all of your devices at the same time by just changing some menus."
"As long as the LAN is well structured, installations and setup can be complete within forty-five minutes."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"t is very stable based on our experience and the application performance has been superb."
"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."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The flexibility is a great feature."

"We have had some problems doing the implementation."
"Meraki offers the client basic security, it is not the same as what FortiGate is offering."
"Meraki SD-WAN had trouble prioritizing traffic for VoIP calls."
"Some systems use some applications with the wrong data application. It bypasses the network, and you need to block that application on Meraki. We first try to put in passwords to do it and the network is not really safe. It's not 100%, the network can be bypassed."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve on the lead time, but this is not a problem only with Cisco. there's a global shortage of chipsets. Additionally, the solution has limited features. It's quite a standard product and not very easily upgradeable or stackable."
"An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards."
"It's a matter of cost and expenses that we may take some issue with."
"I would like to see more functions added to the next release of Meraki SD-WAN."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The interface could be simpler."
"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 security should be improved."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"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."
