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 most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"VeloCloud developed DMPO to increase performance and connectivity."
"The product is consistent and is one of the best despite the competition."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"One of the key use cases for VMware SD-WAN was assisting a customer in the industrial zone. They required virtualized servers and wanted to enable VMware SD-WAN to connect their sites in Japan or China. We assisted in building the system by integrating VMware servers and utilizing the Cisco suite."
"The most valuable features are the orchestration layer, plug and play capabilities, and also the fact that you can either configure it as a full mesh or hard install."
"I love the solution because of its many features like cluster and cloud VPN."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
"I would like to improve the tool’s cloud security features. I would like to see high-throughput hardware requests in the product’s next release. The solution should also support multiple gigs which could be around ten."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve if the hardware could integrate the interface using ICP. Additionally, if VMware SD-WAN is used with SSE providers that use tunnels there are some issues prioritizing traffic because it cannot decrypt."
"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."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
"VMware SD-WAN doesn't have the best built-in firewall."
"There are a number of customers we have that require a fully mashed SD-WAN on VeloCloud that is not available currently."
