Find out in this report how the two WAN Optimization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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 Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"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."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"The platform is valuable for bandwidth reduction."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"The solution is stable."
"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 is quite simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Cato Networks is the CASB and the documentation is useful."
"The most valuable feature is that it also works as a next-gen firewall because it has security features."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"When I first encountered Cato, I didn't know how to use it, but after a week of training, I could onboard our systems to it, so the solution was easy to learn and navigate."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"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."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"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 needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"They can't do one-to-one NAT (Network Address Translation) in AP (their access point), and that is something that Palo Alto can do."
"They should include a web application firewall feature in the solution."
"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."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"A little tweaking or improvement of the UI in terms of logging when troubleshooting would be an improvement because it's very detailed."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
"I am located in South Korea, and I can say that most people here have no idea about Cato Networks. I think Cato Networks should promote its network services in various countries."
"The solution could be made more user friendly for the administrator to use the portal. It is difficult to use it for people who are not experienced with Cato Networks."
