Appgate SDP vs. Mavenir CloudRange (discontinued) vs. VMware NSX

It is best suited for larger companies with lots of remote workers that need complex access management. We've barely scratched the surface on what Appgate can do via its API.

With proper design, VMware NSX can and should be deployed to virtually any VMware virtualization environment, but the deployment should be tailored to the needs of that environment. There isn't really a one size fits all deployment design for all environments. That versatility is what provides its greatest strength to a business.

• End to end encryption on the wire.
• Micro-segmentation.
• Integrates well with existing VMWare environment.
• Integrates well with our existing network.

• Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
• Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.

Incentivized

• Needs little improvement in user interface.
• Less community database and support.
• Sometimes SSL handling is a challenge.

Incentivized

• Interoperability in multi-vendor environments
• Advanced networking and packet acceleration options can be improved

The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.

The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.

We have used HAProxy in our organization earlier for cloud-based solutions but we didn't have good experience with it as it was not that secure and had so many issues related to it. But when we switched to CloudRange, it help to lower the barrier to entry for small businesses who have not yet made the move to cloud technology by providing affordable, easy-to-implement, managed cloud solutions.

We use both Cisco ACI and VMware NSX, and while they have different strengths and capabilities, I would recommend VMware NSX, as it can be used in all VMware environments, without costly physical infrastructure changes. Cisco ACI provides some of the same capabilities, but not all. It's focus relies on physical networking changes.

• We are achieving our goals with this tool by hiding resources behind it.
• It is a new model that requires a different thought process for many in network operations.

• It is a SaaS platform that enables you to offer your customers and employees secure access to all their files, apps, and devices from anywhere.
• Very secure and reliable tool.
• Provides cost-effective cloud solutions.

Incentivized

• Ability to move workloads more easily with the ability to stretch/move networks across multiple physical locations.
• The added flexibility allows you to expedite tech refreshes since you're no longer constrained by the hardware.
