We performed a comparison between Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"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."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"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 solution is stable and suitable."

"The organization of it is logical, useful, and intuitive."
"Their technical support is very good. They help us figure out solutions when we have problems."
"I really like the management dashboard, the tailor-made assurance, the telemetry, and the ease of integration with all other solutions of VMware, such as vSphere."
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"The microsegmentation is a good feature. You can segment details, products, or hardware information."
"The security offered by VMware NSX is the most valuable, plus it's a feature-rich product that's straightforward to install and configure."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the high bandwidth."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"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."

"Quite a complex solution."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"The solution could improve by having a more streamlined setup."
"It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
