User-friendly and offers valuable feature for tracking traffic flow, providing insights into latency and exact paths from source to destination
In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors. For example, Fortinet gives the same feature, but it's gives the feature, that we can use the firewall as well. But, inside the Aruba, I didn't see this feature, secure device, I didn't see the feature. Although it's secure, we established a secure tunnel between all the branches, but still, Aruba might need some security features to be enhanced inside this product. It might be that Aruba doesn't need that one. But the vendor, if they are giving some extra security feature availability, they also give that feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I had to deal with them on a couple of issues, but the tool's technical support is top-notch...The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and the easiest."
"The tool is easy to configure due to the existing pre-configured templates. It is easy to manage compared to legacy systems, which takes time. We can complete a site within 30 minutes. The tool's best feature is outdoor onboarding. You need to bring the box to the site with the internet. It is a simple plug-and-play. The solution offers a zero-touch procedure."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"At the moment, for us, it is a very good solution because it has all the features we need and it is not so expensive."
"Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has high availability."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
 

Cons

"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"Reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The license features should improve in the solution. For example, when you purchase VMware, it starts at a low level that has some functionality. When you want to expand, the difference in the price is substantial. I purchased the lower functional version for $4,000, and now if I want to upgrade, they ask me for $80,000. This is a $76,000 difference, there's no logic, but this is VMware."
"We would like to have better features for path selection. For example, if we know the network is going to go down then we would like to set up an alternate route for data packets in real-time."
"I guess the tool should give you a little more flexibility on what you can show on the main window, which can be an area of improvement."
"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license could improve for Silver Peak VX."
"There is an annual license required to use Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect."
"Compared to other solutions, I think it is a cheap product in the market."
"The pricing for this product is good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing around five to six."
"The licensing would be cheap if we compare it with the others, like Cisco."
"The price of Silver Peak VX is reasonable but could improve."
"You have to negotiate when it comes to pricing and licensing."
