The Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform and Exinda are strong competitors in the SD-WAN space. Exinda appears to have the upper hand due to its extensive features and better pricing and ROI.
Features: Aruba EdgeConnect offers dynamic path control, simplified network management, and user-friendly deployment. Exinda provides robust traffic shaping, application acceleration, and comprehensive traffic management solutions, giving it an edge in feature set.
Room for Improvement: Aruba EdgeConnect could benefit from better reporting capabilities, more third-party integrations, and refined financial analytics. Exinda needs improved configuration options, enhanced documentation, and a more intuitive user interface. Exinda’s ease of use limitations appear more impactful.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Aruba EdgeConnect offers a straightforward setup and responsive customer service, facilitating easier deployment and management. Exinda, while effective, demands more time and expertise for deployment due to complex settings and produces slightly less satisfactory customer service experiences.
Pricing and ROI: Aruba EdgeConnect has higher setup costs but delivers favorable ROI through high performance and reduced network complexity. Exinda offers competitive pricing with superior value-for-money reflected in user ROI reviews, with extra features justifying the price gap.
