VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN Reviews

In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution.

The technical support could be quicker in response time and be more friendly.

The installation is straightforward and it is very fast to install.

We have five technicians to do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of the solution could be reduced.

Sometimes if a customer has used VMware previously and has had a positive experience they are more like to want to do a demo, compare it with the competitors, or purchase.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate VMware SD-WAN a nine out of ten.

I am a consultant with a solution provider and this is one of the products that we advise our clients on. We do not implement solutions as part of our offering.

The dashboard is very comprehensive, where you can see all of the sites with a map. You can click through using the map, which is easy to do.

They make use of a combination of different internet lines, which improves quality.

There is room for improvement with respect to security.

The price of this solution should be lower.

I have been working with VeloCloud for about two years.

I think that it is a stable product.

It is a scalable system, similar to other SD-WAN solutions.

Our customers are typically multinational, on the bigger side.

As consultants, we have worked with several vendors simultaneously. We are independent and we do not propose a particular technology. Rather, we conduct and exercise with our clients and determine the best vendor based on that.

I have not completed the setup myself, but my understanding is that it is okay.

Overall, this is a good product but there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is manageability. Everything is controlled from a central aspect of the orchestrator.

The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability. 

It is easy to plug in new sites and provision new sites. 

It's very straightforward. It's difficult to find fault with this solution.

Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect.

I would like to see a reporting site and for the monitoring, they can implement it, or interface it with an existing monitoring system, which is not easy.

We started using VMware SD-WAN one year ago.

We are using version 4.1

We do not have any complaints regarding the stability of this solution. there are no outages or any malfunctioning.

It's very scalable, it's built into the platform.

We have no issues with technical support. We have no complaints. They are easily reachable. It doesn't take long to obtain technical assistance.

We also use Harmony Connect, and one other competitor, Fortinet.

The initial setup is easy.

My understanding is that the pricing is in the same range as other solutions.

We have looked at some competitors.

SD-WAN is a perfect fit as a solution for several branch sites.

I would rate VMware SD-WAN a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to virtualize the data centers. If you don't want to have a lot of servers in your data center, you can virtualize it with VMware. 

The networking virtualization can be done with NSX.

Every switch and every firewall can be virtualized. 

The most valuable features of this solution are the security endpoints and the VeloCloud.

Some of the best features are the SD-WAN platform for VMware and the NSX network virtualization.

The initial setup could be simplified for beginners.

I have used VMware SD-WAN in the last 12 months.

The stability is good.

We have 30 users in our company who are using this solution.

Technical support is good.

The initial setup was complex at first, but it gets easier.

We used a consultant to help us with the deployment.

I would rate VMware SD-WAN a ten out of ten.
