"When it comes to hybrid work it's pretty effective. We've got the agents. We can protect people inside our building and, when they're using their laptops out in the field, they're still protected. It's working well."
"The solution is very easy to manage. We found the initial setup, for example, to be quite simple."
"The weekly reportings are great. The investigation is super and the application management is equally great."
"The implementation is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features for us include tenant lock, content filtering, and DLP solutions, looking for PII and information being exfiltrated."
"Provides dependable DNS monitoring of external devices."
"Stability-wise, it's good. I have never encountered any bugs."
"I haven't found any issues related to latency or any other issue."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The flexibility is a great feature."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"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."
"Anyone can migrate over to VeloCloud, it's that simple, just plug in the necessary cables and it's done."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"It is fairly similar to other solutions. It has the capability for testing link connectivity, which is its unique feature from a control perspective."
"I have found the dynamic multipoint protocol(DNPO) most useful because it can tell you which is the best circuit to use for different types of traffic."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"The pricing could always be a little bit better."
"We would like to see the enhancements made to the EDR, as we see features that are running endpoint management."
"The price could be better. The price is definitely a bit high, but we have to pay a premium for Cisco products."
"I think it's a very basic solution, and because of that, Cisco Umbrella would not be a suitable solution for large companies."
"Network connectivity was a bit of a challenge at the beginning, but we were able to get the right help from Cisco."
"The API is very Cisco orientated, which is absolutely fine if you're using Cisco Firepower and SecureX kind of products, but if you want to integrate with third parties, it is a bit tricky. There are some key API connectors for the more prevalent SIEM tools. I would really like to see in Cisco Umbrella the ability to create customized reports and then assign the rights to view these reports to people within a group. I should be able to create a customized report, which is viewable by anybody who has the rights. I should be able to create groups within Cisco Umbrella, and then assign reports to groups and have those reports split out automatically only to those groups. I can kind of do it by restricting my email list, but it is a half-complete way of doing it."
"The reporting could be improved by way of the information that's displayed. For example, when you pull a report, it shows an internal employee going to many websites, but you can spin that right down by saying a lot of it is being cached."
"User interface could be a little smoother and more intuitive."
"The security should be improved."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The interface could be simpler."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
"They need more gateways"
"I would like to see more features added to increase visibility."
"There is no security included, which is something that should 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."
"Can't execute commands quickly when troubleshooting. The graphic user interface is slow."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
