The tool's best feature is outdoor onboarding. You need to bring the box to the site with the internet. It is a simple plug-and-play. The solution offers a zero-touch procedure."
"Some of the best features are the SD-WAN platform for VMware and the NSX network virtualization."
"VMware SD-WAN is a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"I have found the dynamic multipoint protocol(DNPO) most useful because it can tell you which is the best circuit to use for different types of traffic."

"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."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"VeloCloud needs improvement in terms of its security features."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"VMware SD-WAN can improve on the security features."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"The initial setup of VMware SD-WAN was simple. However, it took six days to complete."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
