Overall Satisfaction with VMware SD-WAN

VMware SD-WAN help connect remote sites where there aren't point to point circuits that are own by our company so we utilize internet links to build tunnels between these remote sites back to our headquarters. We know VMware SD-WAN can do split tunneling but for visibility purposes we tunnel everything back into our headquarters.

Pros

  • Connect Remote Sites back into our network
  • Provide encryption over these tunnels
  • Can remotely manage and upgrade these boxes

Cons

  • VMware SD-WAN could provide cli access for troubleshooting
  • VMware SD-WAN boxes could have more ports
  • VMware SD-WAN box could have more applications to provide more health and visibility of the traffic passing through
  • User friendly
  • Quick upgrade speeds
  • Virtual option
User friendliness plays a big part why VMware SD-WAN got such a high rating in addition to the boxes being easy to maintain and upgrade they are as close to a "set it and forget it" system that I have ever seen. They do their job to build tunnels into our network and rarely crash.
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 traffic. VMware SD-WAN is a huge success in our network as it is very scalable.
