Excellent enterprise solution **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2019 **What do you like best about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** The VeloCloud enterprise and cloud-based orchestration is straightforward to use and manage. The web-based interface is intuitive and made it easy to manage **What do you dislike about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** Some more detailed features are not easy to find and/or navigate for complex organizations. It is not always easy to translate the business goals into actions within the system configuration. **What problems is VeloCloud SD-WAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cost savings and user performance were the main benefits. However, the overall shift in design, configuration and administration was the most significant benefit. ### 3. Setting up VeloCloud Orchestrator across the Windstream footprint **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2019 **What do you like best about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** The way the orchestrator enables us to see the alarms for the whole network at one place and how it details every single alarm there after **What do you dislike about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** Compare to a tool like Solarwinds. Solarwinds offers a lot more options and easier ways to manage the network than what the VeloCloud Orchestrator does. Solarwinds is an SNMP alarming tool and it does an amazing job and it is not fair to compare Solarwinds and VeloCloud. But, VeloCloud already has a GUI where we manage our network. So it is now very easy for a few more additions to be done on the same GUI to attract more customers/engineers by making our lives easier. So I don't like the fact the VeloCloud does not provide a wide range of network managing options with good schematics. **Recommendations to others considering VeloCloud SD-WAN:** It never hurts to look for better to options! **What problems is VeloCloud SD-WAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before VeloCloud, if the internet for a customer went down, we didn't get to know till the customer called us with an issue. Now, we get a prompt right away if there is any issue with customer's connection. And the best part is we can easily set up a back up internet option on the VeloCloud which let's us solve the issue with the primary connection and the customer can still run on the back up if the primary goes down. This improves customer experience and also eases the job of an engineer because with VeloCloud, the engineer does not have to work on a network issue with the customer throttling our (network engineers) necks with the urge to fix it soon. ### 4. It just works **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron C. | Systems Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2019 **What do you like best about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** I like the fact that I can have two ISPs connected and share bandwidth. I like the active active connections which ensure that we are always up and running. **What do you dislike about VeloCloud SD-WAN?** Sometime traffic gets miss tagged and encrypted traffic that should be going to the mpls goes to the internet. But that was for the most part resolved when they updated the code. **What problems is VeloCloud SD-WAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Network reliability. We've gone from a 1-3 minute failover to 1-3 packets. ### 5.
