Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"It is fairly similar to other solutions. It has the capability for testing link connectivity, which is its unique feature from a control perspective."
"The initial configuration and deployment are quite easy."
"Has an optimization feature that acts to ensure the quality of the services running on the overlay to be most valuable."
"It's scalable."
"They have a lot of built-ins. There are so many applications defined inside the solution. It makes it so that we don't have to create some policies. Each and every application is already defined in it."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."
"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."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
"There is no security included, which is something that should be improved."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"VeloCloud could improve its integration capabilities with other solutions."
"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."
"There are a number of customers we have that require a fully mashed SD-WAN on VeloCloud that is not available currently."
"The firewall can be more advanced."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"The prep time and understanding what you want to do and how much bandwidth you'll need and how you're going to configure it on the network, that's more of an issue than anything else."
