"Great Global Option" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Azure Virtual WAN? Our favorite thing about Virtual WAN is its global capabilities. There are most definitely a lot of better options out there for companies with a more global focus, but Virtual WAN is one of the best global options we've seen. It is an extremely robust tool, that seems to account for any user most anywhere across the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Virtual WAN? At times, we have issues with connectivity. This doesn't seem to be as contingent upon specific regions of the world, as it does to specific times connected to sporadic outages that are difficult to foresee. This leaves us mostly satisfied, but with the constant worry that there will be another outage, leaving certain groups of users without service or good connectivity. Again, these outages are sporadic, but still scary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Azure Virtual WAN: Make sure you look carefully into its features. It is most certainly a great and powerful tool, but it doesn't come cheap. Make sure you know exactly which features you need so that you can only be paying for what you need.

"VPN with efficient site-to-site scalability." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Azure Virtual WAN? Design and more organized model, I love the simple configuration to open ports of connections where the networks stabilize access, the other configurations will be automatic where you will take and connect the selected networks in order to use the VPN in your console, it is too efficient and thanks to this virtual console it is safer to navigate since it is not encrusted in the browser and there is no way to detect if there is any type of active VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Virtual WAN? The connectivity some of the times fails at the moment that there is some instability in the internet connection, this virtual console will not show any failure in the and you will be unprotected without knowing the networks are visible and also if you open the connection between two devices one with less one layer will slow down the two connection platform.
