What differentiates Aruba EdgeConnect from other similar products?

Aruba SD-WAN is easy to deploy. Aruba central makes it very easy to discover WAN links, setup tunnels, distribute routes, etc. Multiple VPCs, Workloads can be taken care of by the virtual gateway to extend the SDWAN from the branch to the cloud applications. It integrates with other cloud services. Additionally, it comes under the right price bracket which makes it a better solution than Cisco.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Pricing Flexibility and Ease of Deployment are the best aspects of this product.

What do you dislike most about this product?

This solution may not suit bigger setups where we have 100+ branch offices.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For a mid-sized company with around 100 branch offices, I believe this is one of the best SDWAN solutions in the market.
