We performed a comparison between Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform and Prisma SD-WAN 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 feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"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."
"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."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"The tool is easy to configure due to the existing pre-configured templates. It is easy to manage compared to legacy systems, which takes time. We can complete a site within 30 minutes. The tool's best feature is outdoor onboarding. You need to bring the box to the site with the internet. It is a simple plug-and-play. The solution offers a zero-touch procedure."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"Prisma supports all of the applications we're currently using."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"When it comes to supporting large, complex, network architectures, it's a very simple architecture. The main component is the fabric. It's very easy to troubleshoot if there is an issue happening in the underlying network."
"I like that the integration with Palo Alto is easy."
"It is flexible to use the internet connection via local breakouts without going to data centers."
"The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway."
"From the main controller, we can administer the customer's devices, QoS, network, and traffic. We can monitor it and we can change and create policies as well as upgrade the software. We can totally control a customer's network from one site, the Prisma SD-WAN portal."
"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
"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."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"We are incorporating their zone-based firewalls. Prisma SD-WAN has limited documentation on how it manipulates traffic, e.g., how it is interacting with TCP and UDP. We recently had some traffic that was black holing. We literally had to do packet captures to see that the new zone-based firewall, which runs on top of Prisma SD-WAN, was causing issues."
"Event correlation and analysis capabilities do not help minimize the number of alarms from a single event. That is the problem. We are getting a lot of incidents, and there is some issue with the correlation. That is still a drawback."
"Prisma SD-WAN should provide more flexibility and scalability on the hardware."
"Prisma could be a little cheaper."
"The only con is the pricing because it's more premium."
"I would also like to see improvement in the product training for customers. Palo Alto has not initiated very much training but they have to do so because this is a new product. If you have experience in a legacy environment, and you are moving to Prisma SD-WAN, you don't have a training framework. That is one of the disadvantages."
"Sometimes, during the product's initial setup phase, bypass pair or couple ports don't come up normally, and it requires an hour and a half to troubleshoot to reset the box from Prisma SD-WAN to factory default."
"Customer support is our biggest pain point. The quality of support has gone down a little since we initially deployed this product. I don't know if this is due to turnover at Palo Alto or a lack of training. It is now taking one or two days to get an initial response that says, "Hey, we've looked into this, can you pull this data for us?" In the past, we'd immediately get a response."
