Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."The Meraki SD-WAN solution is simple to deploy."
"This product contributed to a huge benefit in our bottom line on operational costs."
"The advantage you have with Cisco Meraki is that they take a lot of that complexity out of the backend."
"SD-WAN is a complete enterprise solution for securing traffic."
"The solution has many features available."
"This product has a simple configuration that can be accessed through a web interface or the API."
"The features of SD-WAN are very appealing because you have a centralized dashboard and multiple options to terminate. You have an internet leased line, which means that you can connect your broadband and 3G and 4G cellular networks on the same router. This makes it easy for us to manage everything on a single dashboard. That is, you can integrate multiple stacks in such a way that you do not have to maintain any other dashboard. You get single-pane-of-glass accessibility with Meraki."
"The dashboard is user-friendly. It's very simple to use."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"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 flexibility is a great feature."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."

"There is a point in a very large organization where you hit the VPN limit, or tunnel limit."
"Meraki is more or less intelligent load balancing, although a lot of features are missing that our SD-WAN solutions will have."
"The solution lacks controllers."
"The interface in the VPN management system can be a bit complex for users to understand."
"We have had some problems doing the implementation."
"The deployment time of Meraki SD-WAN can vary. For someone new to the process, it could take a couple of hours. However, for someone with hands-on experience, such as myself, it only takes approximately two to three hours to set up the entire configuration."
"The product should be able to support more than three internet lines."
"The solution needs a multi-use provider portal."
"The security should be improved."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"The support needs to be improved."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"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."
"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."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
