"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."

"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
