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."Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"Single device, multiple functions - I do not need to purchase a web application firewall, a proxy server, a VPN device and so many others because these are all built in to this one device."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"Add-on features such as Virus Scanning, ATP, and web filtering add another level of protection and block malware before it gets to the end user."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic multipath optimization."
"Feature-wise, VMware SD-WAN is a really strong cloud web security product."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is flexibility. It is more flexible than other vendors."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"If one circuit crashes, we are able to switch to a second circuit without any disruption in connection."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"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."
"Initially, we had a scattered environment, but VMware SD-WAN helped us achieve centralization, which was beneficial."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"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."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
"VMware SD-WAN is harder than Cisco. It is complex, and we must take many steps to get the service. I think it would be beneficial if obtaining licenses could be simplified. Currently, numerous options and integrations are bundled together, which can make it quite complex."

"Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect."
