Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"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 platform is valuable for bandwidth reduction."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"First and foremost, it enables the customer to deploy high availability connections. This kind of solution enables them to deploy these HA connections for policies mostly automatically. It's a more automated approach than with other vendors."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"It features intuitive proxy policy deployment using a VPN."
"Since the implementation of this solution, the bandwidth has decreased and the performance in terms of Internet access has increased."
"Proxy Solution and ADN and their integration capability with Blue Coat director are positive features."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"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."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks deployment over multiple platforms and integration with SDN architecture."
"We cannot automate the product since the IP address can only be assigned after acquisition of the serial number."
"It would be great if the product had inbuilt queuing for Quality of Service."
