"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The platform is valuable for bandwidth reduction."
"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 of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is security. Additionally, the integration and configuration are easier to do than with other solutions, such as Cisco."
"The biggest feature is called D.M.P.O., or Dynamic Multipath Optimization, which is one of the technologies that they use to deliver or ensure data integrity."
"There are 400 functionalities of the system."
"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."
"If one circuit crashes, we are able to switch to a second circuit without any disruption in connection."
"Has an optimization feature that acts to ensure the quality of the services running on the overlay to be most valuable."
"VMware is the only SD-WAN solution that integrates with Azure Virtual WAN."
"This solution is as stable as most firewalls. VMware is a reputable vendor."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"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."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"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."

"The initial setup could be simplified for beginners."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"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."
"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."
