Software-Defined WAN Solutions

We are utilizing the Aruba Software Defined WAN (SD WAN) as a means to give us far reaching access to remote and geographically separate sites that will enable them to function the same (or similar) to how they would directly on the LAN. It has solved the problem of not being able to manage these locations as if they were local.

Fairly easy to manage once its setup and running
Updates are easy and handled with little downtime
Price is just right for the product functionality

Configuring the product initially can be complex and confusing
Support could respond quicker
More features would always be nice

Changed the way we manage remote sites
Saved us funds in the LAN budget
Created new opportunities to roll out functions at these sites

Software Defined WAN is growing a lot this year and when we had some issues connecting to our external and remote locations we needed something that could also manage those sites in one easy place. We had trouble doing this with our existing infrastructure, but now our sites are all connected with the [Aruba Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN)] and we couldn't be happier.

An intricate system of connections that make it seem like your outside sites are all on one single LAN
Well priced in their category as others are a bit pricier for the same services
Aruba is backed by a well staffed support team that can get you through your issues

Ran into some weird bugs along the way that required support to address
Not having physical devices that you can reboot yourself takes a bit of control away
Administrators have a bit of a learning curve in figuring out the new system

ROI is still to be determined as you have to calculate the existing hardware costs
Theoretically you could be saving lots of time managing all the hardware in between sites
SDWAN is still new and may take an entirely new budget to accomplish

Aruba Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is being used as a means to centralize some specific remote sites in our organization. It's a way to centrally manage them as opposed to the problem of managing each specific router at each site as a solo network. It helps us solve the issue of deploying rules and changes separately, which would be much more time consuming.

The software and web interface is nicely designed
Fewer bugs than some other competing services

The right support team for your product can be difficult to get ahold of
Integration with Cisco is not as super tight as integration with Aruba devices
Some of the advanced features are difficult to use

It has created a bit of overhead as another control panel that needs to be managed
Recovery of invested costs will take some time
Time is saved on the separate management of sites
