VeloCloud for your SD-WAN solution
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We configure, deploy and manage multiple customers using the Velocloud solution. This device has hit the problem of cost on an MPLS circuit head-on, by providing the mechanism required to create secure transport between your sites.
Pros
- Ease of setup: after unpacking the device, you can have your VC appliance up and running within minutes.
- Now that VMWare owns the Velocloud solution, I believe that they will be able to invest in the product to say fresh and ahead of the competition.
- The technical support is one of the best I have ever interacted with and continue to follow up until the issue is resolved.
Cons
- They need to be a little clearer when it comes to licensing. And from the orchestrator, I should be able to see what licenses I currently have associated with every device and their expiration dates.
- I feel even though a VM firewall can be added to a specific appliance, a full UTM firewall built within the solution would be great.
Likelihood to Recommend
The Velocloud solution is best suited for customers who have a large number of sites that all connect back to a data center or the cloud (AWS, Azure, etc). Customers who have been paying a premium price for MPLS due to the security it provides. This also fits with customers who have locations that need to securely communicate with each other.
