"Once configured and operational, they tend to function reliably, with few reported issues from clients or customers."
"The interoperability with various firewall and access gateway vendors is one of this solution's most valuable features"
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."
"The side-to-side connections are valuable."
"The solution is very quick to connect."
"It sends us a lot of detections when we have any anti-virus updates. It provides the extended time needed to update a set of time needs and notifications."
"The ability to connect old protocols like Border Gateway Protocol is valuable."
"It is a stable solution in our company, and we monitor critical health and performance parameters daily and weekly."

"I use the controller when using Aruba Remote Access Points, particularly during configuration. Hence, room for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points is for its web UI to be easier to control."
"It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud."
"The solution is costly for medium-sized companies."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they can be more competitive."
"The security side of Aruba Remote Access Points could be improved."
"Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices."

"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"They should release a less expensive version of the solution."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"More configuration options could be included in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway."
"I would like for them to improve the troubleshooting features. We have some problems with traffic and I can't identify where the problem is coming from. I have to open a ticket with support until it gets resolved. Microsoft doesn't offer enough tools to resolve the issue."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
