Overall Satisfaction with VMware SD-WAN

We use VMware SD-WAN at our multiple locations. The SD-WAN solutions provide us with multiple internet connections for bandwidth optimization. The VMware solution also offers a built-in firewall, which we utilize. We also utilize the traffic control feature which allows us to set QoS for our critical applications and routes. We enjoy the ability to monitor the connections, statistics, and usage at all of our locations via the cloud dashboard.

Pros

  • Easy Deployment
  • Simplified Management
  • Visibility of Network

Cons

  • Bandwidth Accuracy
  • Notification Alerts
  • Knowledge Articles
  • Increased Uptime
  • Decreased IT Time in Troubleshooting Network Issue
  • Increased ISP Options
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.
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 be more customizable.

Do you think VMware SD-WAN delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with VMware SD-WAN's feature set?

Yes

Did VMware SD-WAN live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of VMware SD-WAN go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy VMware SD-WAN again?

Yes

VMware SD-WAN is a well-suited solution for both small and large organizations that have multiple sites. VMware SD-WAN is well suited for users that want a reliable solution that provides redundant internet connection, quality of service for applications, and visibility into network. It is less suited for organizations that do not need constant uptime or redundant connections.
