We performed a comparison between Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform and Cisco 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 of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"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 initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"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."
"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."
"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."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a stable solution."
"Using SD-WAN to combine services can result in better up time, higher speeds, and much lower costs."
"Cisco SD-WAN's collaborative features are unique and sustainable. I also like the protocols, which use two SD-WAN."
"The first part that we like is that we can reuse certain hardware, which is a valuable asset. You can use hardware SKUs that already exist in the network. The second part that we like is the integration with the cloud and the measurement of the cloud's quality. These are the two values that this solution gives as compared to other implementations that we have seen."
"The product's brand recognition is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN include the DIA and its integration with Cisco Umbrella for DNS security."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"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."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"Cisco could do more to offer bundling of the SD-WAN and other solutions."
"The user interface needs to be more friendly."
"This solution should include a fully functional firewall at no extra charge."
"What I find should be improved is the possibility of really separating the software layer from the hardware layer since today the current offer is not well adopted by the service providers"
"The product should improve its prices."
"The price could be better. From a technical side, and everything's working smoothly. Cisco SD-WAN could be cheaper."
"When it comes to adding more security features, you need to add more RAM."
"I would like to see a better, web-based interface to make changes to the configuration or to view statistics."
