Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is optimization."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most important feature is WAN optimization."
"The product has reduced OpEx expenditure."
"The Business Intent Overlay is a great feature."
"We had to deal with separate management models for Wi-Fi and switches. With Aruba Orchestrator, it's now a unified solution, making things much easier for us. We log in and manage everything from a single console. It provides complete internal visibility from LAN to Wi-Fi, resulting in higher stability and easier troubleshooting. The management process is much quicker and more streamlined."
"Aruba Orchestrator has notably reduced enrollment setup times from several hours to within an hour if prepared and planned."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"The cloud gateway is a very good feature for scaling purposes, etc."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is flexibility. It is more flexible than other vendors."
"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 product’s most valuable feature is DMPO."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"One of the standout features is its ability to dynamically manage enterprise networks based on applications."
"Aruba Orchestrator should implement dynamic certificate changes for security."
"The initial setup is complex, depending on the overall planning for the entire environment."
"The solution lacks sufficient security features."
"The solution can be improved by lowering the cost and making it more user-friendly for first-time users."
"They could provide essential training to understand the product functionality."
"The management menu should be simplified."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"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."
"Implementing VMware is much more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive than implementing Fortinet or Check Point."
"If you don't have an Internet connection, you can’t control it."
"I would like to see more features added to increase visibility."
"The cost of VeloCloud could be lowered."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
