Find out in this report how the two WAN Optimization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"The solution includes features for SD-WAN and WAN such as batch conditioning and optimization."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"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."
"The tool is easy to configure due to the existing pre-configured templates. It is easy to manage compared to legacy systems, which takes time. We can complete a site within 30 minutes. The tool's best feature is outdoor onboarding. You need to bring the box to the site with the internet. It is a simple plug-and-play. The solution offers a zero-touch procedure."
"The scalability is quite good."
"What I found most helpful in Cato Networks is that it works out of the box. One of its main advantages is that it's a simple product to deploy. You subscribe, and you're ready to run."
"It is quite simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it also works as a next-gen firewall because it has security features."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"The product is efficient and easy to use."
"The solution is a simple WAN solution. We've onboarded the socket on the Cato platform, and it provides connectivity. There is no complex routing."
"It is a stable solution...it is a scalable solution."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"They should include a web application firewall feature in the solution."
"A little tweaking or improvement of the UI in terms of logging when troubleshooting would be an improvement because it's very detailed."
"They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud."
"For a packaged solution, needing external intervention or a system integrator to get other features not offered by Cato Networks could be an area for improvement. Cato Networks does what it's meant to do and is even overstretching capabilities when introducing new features. The product can only have very few features added on top of what its currently doing. Managed service providers can deliver the extra features you'd need. It's a set of managed services, and what Cato Networks does is very comprehensive. So, for the time being, when the actual incarnation of the SASE solution is deployed, Cato Networks is a very effective product. Naturally, technology will evolve, so everybody knows that in three, four, or five years, there will be a new kid on the block, a new game. Still, at the moment, Cato Networks only needs to improve a little regarding SASE delivery. The product is doing very well, but one feature the Cato Networks team is doing right is preparing for the future through deploying the SSE 360, so the security service is at that edge. It's an excellent strategy to prepare for the future. SSE 360 is what Cato Networks should invest in the most to keep prospering."
"The solution could be made more user friendly for the administrator to use the portal. It is difficult to use it for people who are not experienced with Cato Networks."
"The price could be better."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
