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."Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"Proactively detects where problems might arise."
"One of the key use cases for VMware SD-WAN was assisting a customer in the industrial zone. They required virtualized servers and wanted to enable VMware SD-WAN to connect their sites in Japan or China. We assisted in building the system by integrating VMware servers and utilizing the Cisco suite."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."
"It's scalable."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"The initial configuration and deployment are quite easy."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
"It is missing important settings options."
"There is one feature that would set VMware SD-WAN apart from others solutions, and that is what I call inter-cloud connectivity. All the solutions regarding VMware are good because for example, If I go from my workplace to a retail office and I want to use my applications in the Cloud, that is possible. Perhaps we have customers who have their IT partial environments hosted in different cloud locations, such as Amazon and Azure, and the interconnection between the clouds, this is not possible. If it was possible it would be a market game-changer. Having the SD-WAN solution that is good at optimizing and facilitating traffic between different cloud providers would be great."
"The solution needs improvement on security features and should include two firewalls. Cloud VPN can’t support any link. The solution needs to also improve the availability of centralized internal management. It needs to have debug detection and Deep Packet Detection features as well. The documentation for VMware is also hard to find."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
