Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"The biggest feature is called D.M.P.O., or Dynamic Multipath Optimization, which is one of the technologies that they use to deliver or ensure data integrity."
"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."
"I like VMware SD-WAN's automation and zero-touch provisioning. Its main advantage is simplicity. Anyone can use this gateway."
"SD-WAN is cloud-based and you can manage multiple sites within one single pane of glass."
"The most valuable features of VMware SD-WAN are the overall capabilities and ease of use."
"VMware SD-WAN is a complete solution."
"This solution is as stable as most firewalls. VMware is a reputable vendor."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
"The cost of VeloCloud could be lowered."
"There are a number of customers we have that require a fully mashed SD-WAN on VeloCloud that is not available currently."
"The prep time and understanding what you want to do and how much bandwidth you'll need and how you're going to configure it on the network, that's more of an issue than anything else."
"I would like to improve the tool’s cloud security features. I would like to see high-throughput hardware requests in the product’s next release. The solution should also support multiple gigs which could be around ten."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
