Intrusion prevention and zero trust network enhance security while real-time monitoring needs improvement
Improved management of time zone alignments is needed to resolve issues swiftly, as waiting 24 to 48 hours is not ideal for businesses. More support is needed while we are still learning the system, and the cloud solution needs to be checked for updates. Additionally, LANCOM should improve its real-time monitoring capabilities to avoid the need for constant manual oversight.

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

"LANCOM SD-WAN made it possible to monitor what was happening from anywhere, giving us flexibility and control over the network."
"It can be used for load balancing and load sharing. It's easy to use and customizable."
"VMware is the only SD-WAN solution that integrates with Azure Virtual WAN."
"The most valuable features are the orchestration layer, plug and play capabilities, and also the fact that you can either configure it as a full mesh or hard install."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is flexibility. It is more flexible than other vendors."
"VeloCloud is very stable — it's a very good solution."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"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."
"At this time, I feel that just about everything is there in the product and it supports the requirements."
 

Cons

"More support is needed while we are still learning the system, and the cloud solution needs to be checked for updates."
"There might be potential enhancements in better integration with other platforms, increased stability, and heightened security."
"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 could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"The solution needs improvement on security features and should include two firewalls. Cloud VPN can’t support any link. The solution needs to also improve the availability of centralized internal management. It needs to have debug detection and Deep Packet Detection features as well. The documentation for VMware is also hard to find."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of VMware SD-WAN is less expensive than some solutions, such as Cisco."
"VMware SD-WAN provides competitive pricing."
"Price would be a challenge for customers, because it is expensive."
"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."
"There is only a standard fee for the solution."
"My understanding is that the pricing is in the same range as other solutions."
"You need to pay for a license to use this product."
"We pay about $500 USD, or 700,000 Korean won."
