Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution comes with comprehensive technical support."
"With other routing protocols, we have had to send team members to perform installations and configurations. There is a lot of work involved. However with SD-WAN, once it is installed it is fully automated, and we can do all other tasks remotely. We don't have to send staff out to the client's location. It's very independent, and we can establish SD-WAN connectivity easily. It is secure as well."
"The product's brand recognition is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
"It is very simple and easy to manage, compared to other methods."
"Troubleshooting is swift, allowing for fast turnaround times whenever we encounter an issue."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."

"The initial setup could be a bit less complex."
"The initial setup is really complex."
"Better pricing and greater security would be nice to see."
"The installation is not easy. If you have experience and it is not your first time doing the installation, it can be easier."
