Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The solution includes features for SD-WAN and WAN such as batch conditioning and optimization."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"First and foremost, it enables the customer to deploy high availability connections. This kind of solution enables them to deploy these HA connections for policies mostly automatically. It's a more automated approach than with other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"The tool is easy to configure due to the existing pre-configured templates. It is easy to manage compared to legacy systems, which takes time. We can complete a site within 30 minutes. 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."
"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."
"Its blades and VSLS (Virtual System Load Sharing) work fine."
"The tool's most valuable features are the REST APIs that help to automate the deployment and maintenance process. It helps us to reduce time to 15-25 minutes compared to the manual process which used to take around two to three hours."
"We primarily secure our network using CloudGuard Network Security's next-generation firewall features, including anti-spam, IPS, and URL filtering. Our chosen package for the go-to-market strategy is NGTP. For customers seeking more features, we provide options to upgrade to the tool's advanced packages."
"The solution is reliable."
"The capability to auto-scale in or out, depending on the resource demand is great."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized dashboard, which is used for managing all of the Check Point Security Gateways."
"Moving into the cloud without having to change a lot of our internal processes and retrain staff is one of the biggest benefits of this solution."
"The SSL spectrum proved to be the most valuable for our incoming connections."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"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."
"We would like to have better features for path selection. For example, if we know the network is going to go down then we would like to set up an alternate route for data packets in real-time."
"CloudGuard Network Security could be improved in the area of upgrading in place."
"In future releases, I would like to see the data loss prevention (DLP) feature could scale along with the virtual machine scale sets."
"It can be difficult to install properly without prior training"
"I haven't used CloudGuard Network Security in the past couple of years as I moved out of the network security role. However, based on my previous experience, there were improvements, especially in in-place upgrades. Regarding cost, it might be potentially cheaper considering resource utilization in Azure and VM costs, but licensing could be improved, possibly moving towards a simpler model."
"Check Point has a history of moving fast with software release and upgrade cycles which are difficult to keep up with at times."
"A threat categorization system can be added to give users the authority to define vulnerable attacks and classify areas that can threaten the workflow system."
"The user interface can be improved."
