| Oracle Apps Functional Consultant at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I use Versa Director to monitor customer networks and find it to be a wonderful tool with useful features, including a secret controller for troubleshooting. However, I wish it were more AI-oriented. Previously, I used SolarWinds and IBM. |
| Product manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I find Versa Director excellent for configuration and management, with a great UI and scalability. However, its setup is not ideal, and separate SSL VPN licensing makes it costly, though I rate it 9/10. |
| Application Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I find Versa Director good for SD-WAN, valuing its analytics and support. While stable and scalable, it lacks maturity and has a complex setup. Overall, it's a beneficial product that needs to mature faster. |
| Vice President Of Product Strategy at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 3.0 | I find this SD-WAN solution's policy features valuable, despite a complicated setup. It's scalable for enterprise, but its stability needs improvement and I believe it has too many features, requiring simplification. I rate it 6/10. |
We use the solution to monitor customer networks.
Versa Director policy is excellent. It allows us to access older renting data codes quickly. With these policies in place, we can make claims for the flow. It has the latest protection value.
Versa Director is a wonderful tool. Everyone should use it. We have their secret controller and troubleshooting.
Versa could be more AI-oriented.
I have been using Versa Director for 2 years.
The product is stable. We have not seen any issue.
The solution’s scalability is good.
I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.
Technical support is very good at every stage. We have not faced any issues with the production support and live tools. They are responding immediately without any delay.
I’ve used SolarWinds and IBM. SolarWinds is suitable for legacy tools.
The product’s pricing is moderate.
We are not getting any issues with the integrations.
Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management. People must rely on and utilize it to enhance anything they want to increase, as it helps minimize the product.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management. Its UI is also excellent compared to Fortinet and Cisco.
Versa Director's on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software are not integrated, so you have to buy a separate subscription for the SSL VPN. In the next release, Versa Director should have local ports in each country they're active in for cloud-related SD-WAN as a service solution.
I've been working with Versa Director since 2015.
As long as your network and connectivity are stable, Versa Director will be stable. I have not seen any issues with stability in the time I've been using Versa Director.
Versa Director is scalable, upgradeable, and flexible.
Versa Director's technical support is good.
Positive
Versa Director's deployment process is not the best.
Having to buy separate licenses for the on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software makes Versa Director very costly compared to other solutions like Fortinet and Cisco.
Versa Director has easier customer reports, utilization monitoring, graphic shaping monitoring, configuration, template shaping, and deduplication compared to Fortinet and Cisco. I would give Versa Director a rating of nine out of ten.
We're using Versa Director to manage our SD-WAN boxes.
The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics.
What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good.
Versa Director is a pretty stable solution.
Scalability in Versa Director is good.
Versa Director has pretty good technical support engineers that are knowledgeable and will figure out solutions to problems within a couple of minutes. However, Versa Networks needs to increase its support capacity.
Versa Director has a complex setup. It was challenging to set up.
Versa Networks is good. My company has a good experience with Versa Networks, particularly Versa Director.
In my company, a team of seven people uses Versa Director, particularly network administrators and managers.
The solution doesn't require that much maintenance.
I'd tell others looking into implementing Versa Director that it has excellent SD-WAN architecture. It's a helpful product with good technical support that's making some progress. It's slow but making steady progress. Versa Director is a beneficial product for the environment my company has.
My rating for Versa Director is eight out of ten.
My company is a customer of Versa Director.
We are looking at this solution as a means to get better management around our SD Wan functionality. The solution is used by our network teams. We're a large service provider and customers of Versa.
I think the most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful. They make it a lot easier to define a lot of different policy constructs.
I think the one area that could be improved is that there are a lot of features. That is also an advantage but it makes things a little difficult. I'd like to see some simplification so that there is less bloat.
I've been using this solution for over two years.
The solution is fairly stable but there's room for improvement. Our service provider handles all maintenance.
For the scope of what the solution is supposed to be, it is scalable and inherently, it does tolerate quite a substantial scale. I wouldn't use it on a service provider scale, but it definitely works for the enterprise scale.
I haven't had to deal directly with technical support because everything was done through the service providers.
The initial setup is fairly complicated, and there's quite a bit of work involved from a design standpoint, making sure everything is in place. We had a fairly small deployment, with a very small number of locations and I think it took a couple of weeks.
I rate this solution a six out of 10.
