"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."
"The tool is easy to configure due to the existing pre-configured templates. It is easy to manage compared to legacy systems, which takes time. We can complete a site within 30 minutes. The tool's best feature is outdoor onboarding. You need to bring the box to the site with the internet. It is a simple plug-and-play. The solution offers a zero-touch procedure."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."

"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors."
"The license features should improve in the solution. For example, when you purchase VMware, it starts at a low level that has some functionality. When you want to expand, the difference in the price is substantial. I purchased the lower functional version for $4,000, and now if I want to upgrade, they ask me for $80,000. This is a $76,000 difference, there's no logic, but this is VMware."
"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
