Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput.""The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost.""It is a scalable solution.""The initial setup is very easy and not confusing.""The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization.""Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability.""The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective.""The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."

"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support.""The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable.""Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy.""The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator.""In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely.""It is a very stable product."

Cons
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors.""Reporting is something that they can improve on.""Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement.""More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution.""There are some functional limitations that could improve.""The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve.""The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved.""The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."

More Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform Cons →

"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well.""Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue.""I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar.""They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors.""The stability has room for improvement.""Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network.""There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."
