We performed a comparison between Meraki SD-WAN and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."The solution is stable."
"SD-WAN is a complete enterprise solution for securing traffic."
"The solution operates via zero-touch configuration."
"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."
"This is a high availability solution that is easy to configure and has a nice GUI."
"This product contributed to a huge benefit in our bottom line on operational costs."
"I appreciate the cloud-based management feature the most. It's a crucial aspect for me because it allows me to manage the configuration remotely without having to visit the on-premise location. The ability to do this from my home is a major benefit. Additionally, security is good."
"They're known for their ease of use and ubiquitous management platform that covers everything. Meraki really excels in plug-and-play solutions. You just plug it up, and everything works. All of the components—the firewall/router, the switches, the access points, the cameras—work very nicely together, and they all can be managed from one platform. That is probably their biggest selling point. Everything comes in one ubiquitous package, and you don't have to manage different components from different platforms. You can see everything from one platform."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"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."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"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 product should be able to support more than three internet lines."
"People are struggling a little bit with the lead times right now. It’s hard to actually get the hardware."
"The granularity could be improved."
"The port density should be improved because this solution is limited to two."
"I would like improved stability in Meraki SD-WAN."
"I would like to see more functions added to the next release of Meraki SD-WAN."
"Warm spare is a good failover solution but Meraki could do something more to handle failovers better."
"I'd like to see improvements in the client VPN area. Currently, we use L2TP over IPSec, which, while widely supported, can be buggy on Windows due to Microsoft's implementation, not Meraki's."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"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 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."
"The support needs to be improved."
"The security should be improved."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
