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."It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"VeloCloud developed DMPO to increase performance and connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability."
"VMware is the only SD-WAN solution that integrates with Azure Virtual WAN."
"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."
"It is fairly similar to other solutions. It has the capability for testing link connectivity, which is its unique feature from a control perspective."
"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."
"It can be used for load balancing and load sharing. It's easy to use and customizable."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect."
"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."
"Can't execute commands quickly when troubleshooting. The graphic user interface is slow."
"In an upcoming release, they should allow customers the flexibility to use mobile applications where they can go and check on the information about their networks. A lot of vendors, such as Meraki, have a lot more integration with the use of portals to a mobile application. Having this feature as an alternative to logging into a laptop would be beneficial. If you are a SaaS-based company why not make a mobile application as well. You might not be able to do configurations but at least monitor while away or on vacation."
"Reports could be simplified."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
