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 initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"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 most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution includes features for SD-WAN and WAN such as batch conditioning and optimization."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"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."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"The license features should improve in the solution. For example, when you purchase VMware, it starts at a low level that has some functionality. When you want to expand, the difference in the price is substantial. I purchased the lower functional version for $4,000, and now if I want to upgrade, they ask me for $80,000. This is a $76,000 difference, there's no logic, but this is VMware."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"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."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"It is missing important settings options."
