We performed a comparison between Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"It is a scalable solution."
"First and foremost, it enables the customer to deploy high availability connections. This kind of solution enables them to deploy these HA connections for policies mostly automatically. It's a more automated approach than with other vendors."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."
"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 file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."

"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."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved."
"Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"The web interface can be improved."
