VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN is recognized as an SD-WAN leader, offering user-friendly solutions that help end customers and enterprises solve network optimization issues efficiently. Its proprietary Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMP) technology is regarded as the most powerful and valuable function by VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN. I see customer transformation to VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN networks showing a 30 to 40 percent increment per year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
"My advice to others is if you are looking for an SD-WAN solution then FatPipe SD-WAN is a good choice."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"If you are looking for automation and want to free up your IT to focus on other things, I recommend VMware SD-WAN."
"Anyone can migrate over to VeloCloud, it's that simple, just plug in the necessary cables and it's done."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"They have a lot of built-ins. There are so many applications defined inside the solution. It makes it so that we don't have to create some policies. Each and every application is already defined in it."
"I love the solution because of its many features like cluster and cloud VPN."
"VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN has truly transformed our environment, providing significantly more bandwidth at lower costs, which is essential for tasks like Teams calls."
"VeloCloud is very stable — it's a very good solution."
 

Cons

"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
"The solution doesn't offer failover between their own devices. If I want to, I should be able to put the two devices at the side, so there can be a failover."
"The licensing model of VMware SD-WAN could be improved, it is not always that competitive."
"VMware SD-WAN is harder than Cisco. It is complex, and we must take many steps to get the service. I think it would be beneficial if obtaining licenses could be simplified. Currently, numerous options and integrations are bundled together, which can make it quite complex."
"In an upcoming release, they should allow customers the flexibility to use mobile applications where they can go and check on the information about their networks. A lot of vendors, such as Meraki, have a lot more integration with the use of portals to a mobile application. Having this feature as an alternative to logging into a laptop would be beneficial. If you are a SaaS-based company why not make a mobile application as well. You might not be able to do configurations but at least monitor while away or on vacation."
"Security needs improvement. Also, it needs better scalability."
"I would like for them to upgrade to 5G integration. Our customers have 4G now and the connectivity isn't good. It should be much faster."
"There are a number of customers we have that require a fully mashed SD-WAN on VeloCloud that is not available currently."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You need to pay for a license to use this product."
"My understanding is that the pricing is in the same range as other solutions."
"VeloCloud performs as well as the Cisco SD-WAN but it is cheaper in price."
"The price of VMware SD-WAN is less expensive than some solutions, such as Cisco."
"The minimum cost is $10,000 a month to have a monitoring station set up."
"The pricing is very comparable to Fortinet."
"The price is reasonable for this solution, but the only challenge for us is that the Rand currency fluctuates to the dollar and provides some complexities. The price might go up just because the Rand has actually lost value."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
