To fully utilize cloud vendors' hardware networking, Microsoft and VMware support everything
To improve the product, the company, alone or with a good partner, should manufacture their own hardware brand with boxes to make the product more shippable. Implementing VMware is much more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive than implementing Fortinet or Check Point. With Fortinet, you pay a couple of hundred dollars for hosting and a low-cost firewall, there's only one box to ship to each site, and it's much easier to manage. Moreover, it would be easy for the large telecom operators and system integrators to sell the solution. It would also be a good fit for customers with multiple small offices, who I currently advise to choose hardware-vendor SD-WAN solutions over VMware.

Pros

"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say, from our cost perspective, they are extremely competitive."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable. Customers want to use their own cheap connection and also do not want to pay too much for services from this solution, it becomes too expensive."
"The solution's price combines the license and the bandwidth you used."
"VMware SD-WAN provides competitive pricing."
"The pricing is very comparable to Fortinet."
"The price of VMware SD-WAN is less expensive than some solutions, such as Cisco."
"The price of this solution is higher than that of other SD-WAN vendors."
"VeloCloud performs as well as the Cisco SD-WAN but it is cheaper in price."
"The licensing model of VMware SD-WAN could be improved, it is not always that competitive. The biggest concern is to be competitive against other solutions. However, the way that the licensing model is designed is not corresponding to the real use cases of my customers."
"The price of this solution should be lower."
