"The cost of VeloCloud could be lowered."
"VMware SD-WAN doesn't have the best built-in firewall."

"VMware SD-WAN could improve if the hardware could integrate the interface using ICP. Additionally, if VMware SD-WAN is used with SSE providers that use tunnels there are some issues prioritizing traffic because it cannot decrypt."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"Reports could be simplified."
"The solution needs improvement on security features and should include two firewalls. Cloud VPN can’t support any link.
