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

"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"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 most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
 

Cons

"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"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."
"They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Silver Peak VX is expensive compared to competitors. There are licenses, renewals, and support that need to be paid."
"The licensing would be cheap if we compare it with the others, like Cisco."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing around five to six."
"The pricing for this product is good."
"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."
"You have to negotiate when it comes to pricing and licensing."
"Compared to other solutions, I think it is a cheap product in the market."
"I believe we're getting some good discounts. We're paying less than $500 per AP. I don't know the annual maintenance cost."
