We performed a comparison between Huawei Enterprise Routers and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product has valuable support services."
"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"Has an optimization feature that acts to ensure the quality of the services running on the overlay to be most valuable."
"Increases the performance of applications and is easy to deploy."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is security. Additionally, the integration and configuration are easier to do than with other solutions, such as Cisco."
"The biggest feature is called D.M.P.O., or Dynamic Multipath Optimization, which is one of the technologies that they use to deliver or ensure data integrity."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"If one circuit crashes, we are able to switch to a second circuit without any disruption in connection."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."
"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The product’s performance could be better."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"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."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
"Security is a challenge. I would like to see VMware add things like IPS, IDS, and web filtering. These features are the future of security, and most competing firewalls have them."
"I would like to see more features added to increase visibility."
"There are a number of customers we have that require a fully mashed SD-WAN on VeloCloud that is not available currently."
