Overall Satisfaction with Aruba Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Updates are easy and handled with little downtime

Cons

Configuring the product initially can be complex and confusing

More features would always be nice

Return on Investment

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