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."We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"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 flexibility is a great feature."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"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."

"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"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."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"The support needs to be improved."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"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."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
