Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN is a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) platform. It connects branch offices, regional hubs, data centers, and cloud workloads over a mix of broadband, MPLS, and 5G links. A cloud-hosted VeloCloud Orchestrator configures and monitors the network, VeloCloud Gateways carry traffic and exchange routes, and VeloCloud Edge appliances sit at each site. The vendor sells it with built-in branch security and integrations with third-party security service edge (SSE)…

VMware SD-WAN does one thing and one thing well. Provide network and security by tunneling traffic from remote locations back into our headquarters. They also provide security at the cloud and can prioritize different applications and perform split tunneling for internet …

Chose Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN
VMware SD-WAN compared to Fortinet FortiGate is easier to configure. It is also a more flexible option that is much easier to deploy. I find the visibility of the network to be easier to understand on the VMware SD-WAN user interface. I also find the VMware SD-WAN dashboard to …

Chose Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN
We preferred the features and UI of the Velocloud compared to FortiGate SDWAN. They seemed to offer the same sets of information in different layouts. Our company decided on Velocloud for personal/aesthetic reasons. They offered a more concise set of graphs and tables out of …

At the time we made our decision to move forward with VeloCloud, Cisco Viptela and Cisco Meraki were the two players we compared against. Cisco's offerings were very customizable when using Viptela, but there was a big learning curve to implement. Meraki at the time was a lot …

Chose Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN
To tell the truth, I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the differences between Citrix SD-WAN and VeloCloud to offer a comparison. I have colleagues that use both, and they are very similar in their technology offerings. Citrix has been around for a long time, and I do trust …

Chose Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN
Because the FortiGate is a true firewall with all the UTM features, that is the only thing that I would say beats the VC in that aspect. Silverpeak has a very nice solution, but it is a bit cumbersome when using the GUI to configure and manage. WatchGuard is a UTM firewall, …

VMware SD WAN is a great solution for tying multiple locations together that are not physically located close. The link aggregation used in the technology allows for quicker failover to redundant connections, which makes the surface traffic seem to be uninterrupted. If planning to connect multiple locations while utilizing the existing internet, Veloclouds SDWAN provides stable and accurate aggregation of connections that provide a good sense of stability for the price.

VMware SD-WAN has great usability. We have had a positive experience with the solution. It has helped solved a number of issues with our network such as visibility in user usage, application usage, and prioritizing critical application network traffic. VMware SD-WAN user interface is also very easy to understand and configure.

There are still some glitches that need to be worked out. As an example, I rebooted a device at one of our branch locations and it just died. That should never have happened, and I've only seen this happen when a company needs to improve hardware on some of their lower-end models.

At the time we made our decision to move forward with VeloCloud, Cisco Viptela and Cisco Meraki were the two players we compared against. Cisco's offerings were very customizable when using Viptela, but there was a big learning curve to implement. Meraki at the time was a lot simpler, but we needed the ability to customize some features in order to implement SD-WAN in our environment. VeloCloud was the perfect solution during our POC as it satisfied our needs.

Ease of deployment: the amount of time saved when adding additional sites to the solution, especially when you have a profile already built and when you add a new VC you just associate that profile with that appliance. Again, in a matter of minutes, you can have a new site up and running.
Since there is not true firewall built-in, you would have to either purchase a third-party firewall or the virtual firewall that is supported by Velocloud.
