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."
"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."
"Has an optimization feature that acts to ensure the quality of the services running on the overlay to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability; it is easy to plug in new sites and provision new sites, and it's very straightforward."
"I find the application-aware routing feature to be the most valuable."
"VeloCloud provides very good performance, support, portal configuration, and service integration — I think that it's perfect."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"Honestly, we don't want to get away from this solution at all."
 

Cons

"More support is needed while we are still learning the system, and the cloud solution needs to be checked for updates."
"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."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"There is room for improvement with respect to security."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"There is still room for improvement in support and security, especially in enhancing the SASE aspect of the platform."
"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."
"Technical support for VeloCloud needs to be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You need to pay for a license to use this product."
"The licensing model of VMware SD-WAN could be improved, it is not always that competitive. The biggest concern is to be competitive against other solutions. However, the way that the licensing model is designed is not corresponding to the real use cases of my customers."
"Overall pricing could be lower. It is much more expensive than traditional hardware vendor pricing."
"Price would be a challenge for customers, because it is expensive."
"We pay about $500 USD, or 700,000 Korean won."
"The cost of VMware SD-WAN is high, but I think you can still get better pricing if your volume is high."
"The minimum cost is $10,000 a month to have a monitoring station set up."
"The price of this solution is higher than that of other SD-WAN vendors."
