Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."Because it's a cloud-based network infrastructure, everything is done in the cloud, so I don't need to be on-site physically to be able to troubleshoot or resolve an issue. I can be anywhere and resolve an issue."
"I have found the dashboard very useful, you can configure all of your devices at the same time by just changing some menus."
"It's made managing our client's networks extremely easy, regardless of my location. Being able to hop on my cell phone to see what's happening on a client's network makes everything much more manageable."
"What I found most valuable in Meraki SD-WAN is its simplicity. I also like its manageability."
"The solution is easy to use."
"This product contributed to a huge benefit in our bottom line on operational costs."
"The Meraki SD-WAN solution is simple to deploy."
"The solution is a whole vertical solution, so it doesn't need any other components in order to provide basic features."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."

"The solution could be improved if it added more features, especially monitoring and reporting features."
"Meraki could make better use of virtual connect."
"Some of the on-premise security features of Meraki SD-WAN are on the cloud and some of my customers do not want to use the cloud. They should have on-premise security features for those that do not want to use the cloud."
"Perimetral security for new requirements on financial networks and DRP systems, like SAP."
"It's a matter of cost and expenses that we may take some issue with."
"The solution is scalable for mid-tier deployments, but not for major ones."
"The default classes should be expanded."
"The blocklist on the Cisco Meraki side isn't complete or very large. We'd like to see them update and expand this."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The support needs to be improved."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"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."
