We performed a comparison between Juniper Mist Edge and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"Proactively detects where problems might arise."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"The cloud gateway is a very good feature for scaling purposes, etc."
"The product’s most valuable feature is DMPO."
"The initial configuration and deployment are quite easy."
"VMware is the only SD-WAN solution that integrates with Azure Virtual WAN."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."
"I would like to improve the tool’s cloud security features. I would like to see high-throughput hardware requests in the product’s next release. The solution should also support multiple gigs which could be around ten."
"There is still room for improvement in support and security, especially in enhancing the SASE aspect of the platform."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, they should allow customers the flexibility to use mobile applications where they can go and check on the information about their networks. A lot of vendors, such as Meraki, have a lot more integration with the use of portals to a mobile application. Having this feature as an alternative to logging into a laptop would be beneficial. If you are a SaaS-based company why not make a mobile application as well. You might not be able to do configurations but at least monitor while away or on vacation."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
"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 is room for improvement with respect to security."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
