"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 most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"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 most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"The WAN aggregation feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it also works as a next-gen firewall because it has security features."
"The visibility control and security aspects are amazing."
"What I found most helpful in Cato Networks is that it works out of the box. One of its main advantages is that it's a simple product to deploy. You subscribe, and you're ready to run."
"It's a pretty straightforward solution."
"The query and the SD-WAN are useful features of the solution."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable is the bandwidth aggregation."
"It is a stable solution...it is a scalable solution."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"We would like to have better features for path selection. For example, if we know the network is going to go down then we would like to set up an alternate route for data packets in real-time."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The license features should improve in the solution. For example, when you purchase VMware, it starts at a low level that has some functionality. When you want to expand, the difference in the price is substantial. I purchased the lower functional version for $4,000, and now if I want to upgrade, they ask me for $80,000. This is a $76,000 difference, there's no logic, but this is VMware."
"For a packaged solution, needing external intervention or a system integrator to get other features not offered by Cato Networks could be an area for improvement. Cato Networks does what it's meant to do and is even overstretching capabilities when introducing new features. The product can only have very few features added on top of what its currently doing. Managed service providers can deliver the extra features you'd need. It's a set of managed services, and what Cato Networks does is very comprehensive. So, for the time being, when the actual incarnation of the SASE solution is deployed, Cato Networks is a very effective product. Naturally, technology will evolve, so everybody knows that in three, four, or five years, there will be a new kid on the block, a new game. Still, at the moment, Cato Networks only needs to improve a little regarding SASE delivery. The product is doing very well, but one feature the Cato Networks team is doing right is preparing for the future through deploying the SSE 360, so the security service is at that edge. It's an excellent strategy to prepare for the future. SSE 360 is what Cato Networks should invest in the most to keep prospering."
"The different languages in the user interface should be enhanced."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
"I would like to see better integration with identity providers."
"Cato Networks security could be better."
"The price could be better."
"Its functionality is a bit limited in some areas as compared to a Cisco solution. It is not as granular. It doesn't have the manageability, feature set, and capabilities of a larger or an enterprise-level solution. It just needs a more robust feature set and granularity."
"They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud."
