The initial setup is not that much straightforward. It's easy, but we had some complications while deploying the solution. I rate the ease of setup a seven and a half out of ten.

My clients have the solution deployed on the cloud as well as on-premises.

It takes 35 days for the solution's deployment phase.

One engineer and one solution architect can deploy the solution.

The initial setup is easy if you have a background working with networks or connections. The initial setup will be much easier with support. Depending on the size of the network, SD-WAN takes about seven days to deploy. Maintaining the solution can be easy if you know the technology and you have the background and training. But if you have no idea about the product, you will have a hard time because it will be new to to you.

VMware in itself is not difficult to set up. Being able to run guest machines takes a couple of hours. It has a network component that can be a little bit complex, but other than that, if you've done all the prep work, it's pretty innocuous to set up VMware.

The solution’s setup is straightforward. I would rate the setup a seven out of ten. The tool is deployed over the cloud and could take around half a day to complete.

The solution offers a very easy setup. It's not overly complex. 

It took some time for the initial site due to the ramp-up of the skills and understanding of exactly what to do and what not to do. Right now, the site takes between 15 and 30 minutes to deploy.

The initial setup isn't too complex. It's pretty straightforward.

In terms of the deployment, we designed everything properly, and due to the fact that we took the time to design it correctly, it didn't take a long time. Strategy-wise, we have AT&T as our provider. That said, we have set up a reference architecture in such a way that it just copies every site, according to our site size and the requirements.

Setting up the system is extremely straightforward and efficient. The process is designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal time and expertise.

The initial setup is not troublesome at all. The initial configuration and deployment are quite easy. There haven't been any issues with deployment and configuration.

The initial setup of VMware SD-WAN is straightforward. The time it took to implement took weeks. We tried to implement the solution slowly and securely over time.

The initial setup was easy. Not complex.

The solution is straightforward to install compared to other solutions, VMware makes setup simple. SD-WAN vendors have a kind of simplicity embedded into them, just because of the nature of the software-defined components into it. 

VMware SD-WAN is easy to set up. The deployment takes two minutes and requires one network engineer. I rate the process a seven out of ten.

The installation is relatively easy. We only need to plug it in and it works. However, sometimes there needs some configuration but it is not difficult.

I rate the initial setup of VMware SD-WAN a seven out of ten.

It is fairly straightforward. After you've done it once or twice, it is fairly simple.

We found the setup to be straightforward and simple. It is not overly complex. 

I'd rate the ease of setup a five out of five.

The initial setup is always pretty complex with what we're involved in.

The deployment time really depends on how conservative a customer is and how quickly they want it to go. Some of them are three months and some are a year.

We initiated the process by installing the software and configuring Windows on the VMware SD-WAN platform.

They have what they call a zero-touch setup. 

I can pre-configure the edge devices that get installed at the client site, and rather than me going in and installing it, I can pre-program it and set it up to where I can shift the unit to their IT person, and they can plug it into their network and they're up and running and have connectivity.

I wasn't part of that actual step.

You do not need much maintenance. The last time when I did one site it was only me and then probably a couple of people from our end.

The initial setup is very simple. You can auto-connect the CPEs. Once you activate the CPEs, the CPEs can then connect to other CPEs that are in the network.

The initial setup is very simple.

To register with the orchestrator takes some effort sometimes. Our engineer did try a few times, and it's not exactly zero-touch. You still need to have all the information.

The installation is easy.

The initial setup is straightforward. The initial setup is very simple compared to Cisco. Cisco claims to be Zero Touch Provisioning, but I think they have a lot of complexity surrounding that Zero Touch. With VeloCloud, you can generate and send emails, and the receiver just has to connect to the device, open up the email and the configuration improves. In this way, I think Velo is good with Zero Touch Provisioning.

Deployment time really depends on what you deploy. If you want to roll out a small site on a single device, then the designing and the policies are all done — it's a really quick job. Your circuit and site will rollout quickly, everything will be up and running roughly within two to two and a half hours. If you're looking at a complex site, then of course, the complexity increases.

I worked with the solution in virtual Azure and it is complex. However, I think in the real scenario, the deployment should be more flexible.

The initial setup of VMware SD-WAN was simple. However, it took six days to complete.

Deployment took two hours.

The initial setup is really easy.

Once you connect the appliance to the internet, you manage the policies and that enables SD-WAN.

Setting up VMware SD-WAN is simple and smooth. I would rate it four out of five for ease of deployment. 

The initial setup was very simple. It's user-friendly. It only takes a few hours, not days, to deploy for somebody who is experienced. We use it on a daily basis. 

The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is complex to configure.

In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup is very easy, which is a plus for this solution.

The majority of time is spent in the planning stage. Once you are ready to deploy, it should not take more than 30 minutes. 

The initial setup is simple. SD-WAN is the simplest, and anyone can do it.

To deploy VeloCloud itself takes approximately one hour.

In IT, things don't always go to plan, but for the most part, it's an hour.

The deployment was straightforward and took a couple of months to complete.

Its initial setup is not complex. It is very simple. Its deployment took about one month.

The installation is a straightforward process. You don't need very many people on your tech team. 

The installation is straightforward and it is very fast to install.

Deployment is okay and not a major issue. It requires engineering capacity and depends on the customer environment. 

The initial setup is straightforward. In my experience, VeloCloud is one of the easiest SD-WAN vendors when it comes to initial setup and deployment.

The initial setup is easy.

The initial setup is easy.

I have not completed the setup myself, but my understanding is that it is okay.

The initial setup was complex at first, but it gets easier.
