We performed a comparison between Aviatrix and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"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."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"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."
"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"Technically, VMware NSX is more advanced technology-wise when compared to others. We have been studying it and so far, so good. We know that the NSX product is superior when it comes to software virtualized networks. </p> <p>If you are looking to work with new and future technologies, then NSX is one of the best options. It costs less for power consumption since it will be a virtual network and not a pure physical network that consumes more energy."
"This is a good firewall and overall it is rich in features."
"Their technical support is very good. They help us figure out solutions when we have problems."
"VMware NSX is a very good solution. It's also a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"We like that everything is integrated."
"We secured our organisation with Micro-segmentation."
"The we can actually extend Layer 2 networking across datacenters, and also Layer 3 networking, which comes along with it."
"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"
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"The tool's setup is complex and we need support to implement it."
"The solution is only sold as part of a bundle and not as an individual product."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
"It could be cheaper!"
"It still needs to grow. There are still some features that it doesn't do, like it doesn't do multicasting."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
"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 solution is quite complex. You need to keep your thinking cap on and know what you are doing: Go to the training and listen to the solution architects when they come in because they have a lot of knowledge."
