Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."We have found the product to be quite scalable."
"In my experience, Meraki is very easy, simple, and clear to set up and use."
"They're known for their ease of use and ubiquitous management platform that covers everything. Meraki really excels in plug-and-play solutions. You just plug it up, and everything works. All of the components—the firewall/router, the switches, the access points, the cameras—work very nicely together, and they all can be managed from one platform. That is probably their biggest selling point. Everything comes in one ubiquitous package, and you don't have to manage different components from different platforms. You can see everything from one platform."
"I appreciate the cloud-based management feature the most. It's a crucial aspect for me because it allows me to manage the configuration remotely without having to visit the on-premise location. The ability to do this from my home is a major benefit. Additionally, security is good."
"The best feature we're using is the packet shaping."
"The auto VPN feature is important because it automates many tasks, making things simpler and faster. It helps with setting up devices and changing configurations without manual effort."
"The most valuable feature is application awareness."
"Meraki SD-WAN is a very stable and scalable solution with good technical support."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."

"Meraki SD-WAN had trouble prioritizing traffic for VoIP calls."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve by adding wireless access time-scheduled and overall capabilities."
"This vendor has issues with the supply chain that need to be improved."
"They stopped doing WAN optimization as a feature set, which is lacking. They need to relook at that and consider WAN optimization as an option."
"When there is an issue, I find it difficult to figure out what is going wrong because the logs do not provide as much information as solutions from HP."
"With Meraki, it's more of a basic connectivity. It doesn't have all the feature sets that a Cisco SD-WAN solution has. It's limited."
"The interface in the VPN management system can be a bit complex for users to understand."
"I would like improved stability in Meraki SD-WAN."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The web interface can be improved."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
