We performed a comparison between Juniper Contrail SD-WAN and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."

"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
