Beneficial technology, reliable, and simple deployment
Our client has a data center and all the applications servers and servers are in their data center. We design a solution, for all their branches. If they wanted to access the internet or the applications, they route traffic to their data center and then can access these applications with FatPipe…

A flexible, stable and scalable solution
I don't have issues with the hardware, as the requisite capacity is visible in the data sheets. All the details in the data sheets are accounted for. But, I find myself confused when it comes to combining this with the software. I have not come across documentation on the Versa website which would provide information about the parameters for selecting the appropriate license. For this we are assisted by the solution's design engineer and the Versa team. I do what I can as a project manager and make the best suggestions I am capable of concerning the competition. Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature. SSL VPN is lacking in the solution. I wish to see this in the near future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"This integration between SASE and SD-WAN is beneficial, as we have tested it with various customers."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
 

Cons

"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
"The security should be improved."
"The support needs to be improved."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"Versa provides analytics, but the reporting features have some shortcomings."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is neither cheap nor expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten on a scale where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is not very expensive because of the white box support. Its hardware is much cheaper than other products. With the support for x86 and white box, it is one of the most cost-effective platforms that are currently available."
"We provide subscriptions for our customers on a yearly, not monthly, basis."
"The price is expensive but it makes sense for the market."
"Price wise, it's more expensive than is the competition. I would give pricing a rating of three out of five."
"While I cannot provide too much commentary on the price, I feel it to be fair for the moment."
"I find Versa a little more expensive than VMware in terms of remote access and secure web gateway elements."
