Aviatrix vs VMware NSX comparison

"The connections are seamless, and we can access the static clouds on the platform itself. We are also able to trace the issues. The most valuable features of the solution are security, user interface, and performance."

"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."

"This tool resolves the overlapping of CIDR’s IP addresses in a multi-cloud environment, which is its best feature. The product also gives packet-level details on the data that has been put from one cloud to another. Currently, no other solution in the market can give this kind of detail. There is also the high VPN connectivity which gives high throughput. Internet service providers have a limitation on large migrations like 10 Gigabytes or 2 to 2.3 GBPS. However, this tool gives you a functionality where you can bundle multiple tunnels into one tunnel. Thereafter, you can transfer the data from one environment to another or from on-prem to the cloud."

"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."

"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."

"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."

"It gives more security and micro-segmentation. It helps to set network configurations in an easy way."

"It does have capabilities of micro-segmenting a network, being able to create smaller segments of various types of applications separated by various tiers."

"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."

"The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."

"It's a beneficial tool."

"The most valuable features are the micro-segmentation and integrated security options."

"I have found VMware NSX to be easy to use."

"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."

"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"

"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."

"The tool has a very limited local presence in the GCC market. I am based in Dubai, UAE and it would be very difficult for me to reach out to US staff for technical discussion during the tool’s implementation. The tool needs to focus on the GCC market which includes UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. There is nobody to help you out in this region."

"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."

"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."

"The setup of the solution could be simplified."

"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."

"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."

"Since most people are very much used to physical networking, they find it difficult to use VMware NSX in the initial stage."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"The solution is only sold as part of a bundle and not as an individual product."

"I would like to see automation capabilities in the deployment process."

"They have some limitations in the firewall features as compared to the on-prem or dedicated hardware appliance. They can add more features, such as IPS and IDS, to the cloud firewall."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"During the initial phase, it operates as an open-source and it's a free tool."

"It operates on a consumption-based model and the expenses depend on factors such as the number of virtual machines you use and the resources consumed."

"Aviatrix is a pretty expensive solution."

"The price of VMware NSX is reasonable."

"We haven't had to hire a dedicated network engineer because NSX handles 90 percent of it. The reduced overhead in terms of managing networks has been the biggest plus."

"The licensing fees are expensive and we pay on a yearly basis."

"The price of this product is too high."

"The price is pretty high."

"I would rate the pricing of VMware NSX as seven out of ten"

"The solution is very expensive."

"Pricing and licensing could be improved as we are a government entity. Lower pricing could always help."
