We performed a comparison between Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."The solution is stable and suitable."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"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 granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."

"The interface is intuitive enough."
"The most valuable features are security and dynamic routing."
"Any administrator with basic networking knowledge, in a couple of days, can be in full control of their networking without going through a networking engineer."
"The most valuable features of VMware NSX are the tight integration with the VMware Hypervisor natively and the management console. We have a lot of other integrations where you are able to see the virtual machine's end-to-end visibility."
"The stability is great. That's one of the things that we can quantify and leverage through NSX, because it's less complex. We have the availability to manage multiple things at the same time. You can identify problems before they manifest."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"It has reduced the number of people on the network team along with the system engineer involved in the security process. So, it is valuable."
"I really like the management dashboard, the tailor-made assurance, the telemetry, and the ease of integration with all other solutions of VMware, such as vSphere."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"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."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"The security should be improved."

"Just being more knowledgeable about the different functions."
"There is room for improvement in VMware NSX's workload management, particularly in the orchestration layer and in managing workloads across multiple clouds."
"It still needs to grow. There are still some features that it doesn't do, like it doesn't do multicasting."
"One aspect that needs improvement is the need for further automation."
"Everybody needs a network to connect to, and VMware doesn't readily provide one."
"I would like them to make integration with other vendors easier."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"Traffic flow introspection topology visibility is definitely needed because at the moment, NSX-T lacks in this area."
