Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."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 most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"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."

"It gives more security and micro-segmentation. It helps to set network configurations in an easy way."
"It provides a single pane of glass. You can do the switching, routing, load balancing, IPS, IDS, etc. Everything is under one umbrella. So, there is no vendor dependency over there."
"The microsegmentation allows me to sleep at night. My job is reducing risk, plugging security holes, and working with the automated layer security. Even if somebody spins up a new server, it has to have a tag in NSX."
"The stability is great. That's one of the things that we can quantify and leverage through NSX, because it's less complex. We have the availability to manage multiple things at the same time. You can identify problems before they manifest."
"One significant advantage of VMware NSX is the ability to provide advanced security at the micro-level, focusing on securing applications and workloads rather than just the network structure or virtualization-based network security."
"The interface is intuitive enough."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"The security should be improved."
"The interface could be simpler."
"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."
"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."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
More Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform Cons →
"Since most people are very much used to physical networking, they find it difficult to use VMware NSX in the initial stage."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
"It takes time to do the initial setup. It is a bit slow, which is surprising."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"We would like better integration with the standards on the market. For example, with OSPF, their integration in NSX is very low. It's not a full OSPF integration. It is too thin from a protocol perspective."
"The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement."
"I would rate this product an eight because it's a good product but it needs more work. They should fix some of the bugs."
"The scalability is not perfect."
