"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."

"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The support needs to be improved."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
