Featured Reviews

JOHN UNAMBA - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrated security features and robust support improve network management
The solution was installed across two branches for a financial institution. One location had a data center, and the other was a branch office. For SaaS applications, traffic broke out from EdgeConnect directly to the cloud. Applications using the data center were channeled through the MPLS link…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I had to deal with them on a couple of issues, but the tool's technical support is top-notch...The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and the easiest."
"I rate the Aruba EdgeConnect solution nine out of ten."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"At the moment, for us, it is a very good solution because it has all the features we need and it is not so expensive."
"The most valuable feature is the support for asymmetric lines."
"The platform is valuable for bandwidth reduction."
"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX is the flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the long-distance performance of the application storage is easy and effective."
"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors."
"There are some functional limitations that could improve."
"I guess the tool should give you a little more flexibility on what you can show on the main window, which can be an area of improvement."
"I would like to have a physical appliance to use with the orchestrator for managing all EdgeConnect appliances. Currently, it's a virtual appliance."
"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."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"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."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect is paid annually."
"The licensing fees depend on the bandwidth. As an example of what we charge our customers, for 100MB without Boost, the price is approximately $2,000. That includes the licensing and the unit."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing around five to six."
"You have to negotiate when it comes to pricing and licensing."
"The price of Silver Peak VX is reasonable but could improve."
"The price of Silver Peak VX is expensive compared to competitors. There are licenses, renewals, and support that need to be paid."
"The pricing for this product is good."
"You typically will license the hardware and you license the software to access the hardware capabilities. The price will range anywhere from a hundred to $300 a month. There are no additional costs."
