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 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."
"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."

"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak VX is the overall performance."
"The most valuable feature of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is the boost."
"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."
"Prisma supports all of the applications we're currently using."
"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly."
"The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"I like the link monitoring and analytics. These are the features that set Prisma apart from other products. Prisma works well with large, complex networks. One of my clients is a top bank in the United States, and Prisma has performed well for that customer."
"From the main controller, we can administer the customer's devices, QoS, network, and traffic. We can monitor it and we can change and create policies as well as upgrade the software. We can totally control a customer's network from one site, the Prisma SD-WAN portal."
"It is flexible to use the internet connection via local breakouts without going to data centers."
"The security offered by the solution is pretty good."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform’s stability and technical features need improvement."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release."
"I would also like to see improvement in the product training for customers. Palo Alto has not initiated very much training but they have to do so because this is a new product. If you have experience in a legacy environment, and you are moving to Prisma SD-WAN, you don't have a training framework. That is one of the disadvantages."
"The only con is the pricing because it's more premium."
"Prisma SD-WAN should provide more flexibility and scalability on the hardware."
"Prisma SD-WAN's technical support should be improved."
"The tool needs to work on price and complexity."
"Customer support is our biggest pain point. The quality of support has gone down a little since we initially deployed this product. I don't know if this is due to turnover at Palo Alto or a lack of training. It is now taking one or two days to get an initial response that says, "Hey, we've looked into this, can you pull this data for us?" In the past, we'd immediately get a response."
"Event correlation and analysis capabilities do not help minimize the number of alarms from a single event. That is the problem. We are getting a lot of incidents, and there is some issue with the correlation. That is still a drawback."
"I'd like to see them move more towards CASB."
