We performed a comparison between Juniper Mist Edge and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."
"Proactively detects where problems might arise."
"This solution is as stable as most firewalls. VMware is a reputable vendor."
"VMware SD-WAN is a complete solution."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"Increases the performance of applications and is easy to deploy."
"I love the solution because of its many features like cluster and cloud VPN."
"It's scalable."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."
"There is one feature that would set VMware SD-WAN apart from others solutions, and that is what I call inter-cloud connectivity. All the solutions regarding VMware are good because for example, If I go from my workplace to a retail office and I want to use my applications in the Cloud, that is possible. Perhaps we have customers who have their IT partial environments hosted in different cloud locations, such as Amazon and Azure, and the interconnection between the clouds, this is not possible. If it was possible it would be a market game-changer. Having the SD-WAN solution that is good at optimizing and facilitating traffic between different cloud providers would be great."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"Better price model would be appreciated."
"Security is a challenge. I would like to see VMware add things like IPS, IDS, and web filtering. These features are the future of security, and most competing firewalls have them."
"I would like for them to upgrade to 5G integration. Our customers have 4G now and the connectivity isn't good. It should be much faster."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"If you don't have an Internet connection, you can’t control it."
