We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing.""The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion.""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.""Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability.""The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective.""I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature.""The solution includes features for SD-WAN and WAN such as batch conditioning and optimization.""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."

Cons
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement.""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.""The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved.""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.""There are some functional limitations that could improve.""In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors.""They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
