Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."

"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 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."

"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."

"First and foremost, it enables the customer to deploy high availability connections. This kind of solution enables them to deploy these HA connections for policies mostly automatically. It's a more automated approach than with other vendors."

"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."

"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."

"I really love the auto-tunnel creation feature."

More Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform pros

"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."

Cons

"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."

"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."

"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."

"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."

"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."

"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."

"Reporting is something that they can improve on."

"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."

More Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform cons

"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing around five to six."

"You typically will license the hardware and you license the software to access the hardware capabilities. The price will range anywhere from a hundred to $300 a month. There are no additional costs."

"The licensing fees depend on the bandwidth. As an example of what we charge our customers, for 100MB without Boost, the price is approximately $2,000. That includes the licensing and the unit."

"The pricing for this product is good."

"The license could improve for Silver Peak VX."

"You have to negotiate when it comes to pricing and licensing."

"The price of Silver Peak VX is reasonable but could improve."
